Protect the Mozambique forest found on Google Earth, scientists say

Mount Mabu rainforest teeming with new and unique
species including pygmy chameleons and bronze-colour
 snakes

A remote rainforest in Mozambique discovered using Google Earth has so many new and unique species that it should be declared a protected area, scientists say.
Pygmy chameleons, a bronzed bush viper and butterflies with shimmering yellow wings are among the species in the forests covering Mount Mabu in northern Mozambique.

One such species is a golden-eyed bush viper with bronze-edged scales (Atheris mabuensis) which Julian Bayliss, a conservation scientist for Kew Gardens, found by stepping on during a survey. His team is also waiting to describe a further two species of snake. A new species of chameleon (Nadzikambia baylissi) has already been described from the site, and the researchers are also describing another. The size of a human palm, with a warm yellow chest, green eyes and a spiky crest along its back,Rhampholeon sp. are commonly known as pygmy chameleons.

  1. My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he's
    tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a number of
    websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
    I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer
    all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!
