An expedition on the Nangaritza River of Ecuador, near the border with Peru, has uncovered nearly a dozen species new to science, including four amphibians, a lovely lizard, insects, and plants.

This one above is a species of glass frog, Hyalinobatrachium pellucidum, named after its translucent skin.

These discoveries are hoped to encourage the government to protect the area, which is close to a “peace park” created in the late 90s after decades of conflict.

I wonder how many "new" species are around being discovered or even are regular to some people living in isolated areas around the world.
