Biodiversity: Hundreds of new species in the Peruvian jungle

Biodiversity: Hundreds of new species in the Peruvian jungle. Course when it comes to new species these are not new at all. Can not really say it's good news, because we do not know whether it is better or worse than the human being to discover.

We found 365 new species in the Bahuaja Sonene, in the Peruvian jungle, southeast of the country rich.

After a work of more than 15 years, researchers from the environmental organization Wildlife Conservation Society, have released new findings that enhance the richness of biodiversity in South America.

If until now had managed to survive without being listed in the records, we hope to continue doing so from now on. They are 30 species of birds including varieties of hawks, eagles and gulls, 2 mammals represented by big-eared bat and the bat tricolor and 233 new species of butterflies and moths, among others.

This park is a protected area of the Amazon in Peru, and is part of the territory of Ese'eja communities, Inferno, Palma Real and Sonene. In it are rivers and Candamo Távara, which together with the stream of Macaw are the main source of food for native populations.

The Bahuaja Sonene was declared by the National Geographic one of the seven Natural Sanctuaries of the World, as well as Natural Wonder of the planet because it keeps nearly 2 million hectares of forest free from logging, hunting and trapping. A true paradise on earth, to be careful with nails and teeth of the terrible human predator.
