What wonderful news! Scientists have found an eden, an untouched oasis of life, in unassuming Mt. Mabu of once strife-torn Mozambique. This African rain forest was found through Google Earth around 5 years ago but it was not until late last year that intrepid scientists set foot on the mountain, which was previosuly “known” only to local villagers.
Inside, the scientist found a treasure trove of tropical rainforest animals. Some endangered species and a handful of new ones. Now, the “secret” home of one of the Earth’s richcly diverse flora and fauna has to deal with development, enroachment, and poachers.
The past 2 years has been good for conservation. Last year it was a lost population of Western lowland gorillas and now this new Eden.

That’s really good news. hope the newly found eden will be kept untouched to maintain its beauty and sustainability.
