A NOVEL PARTNERSHIP FOR SPECIES DISCOVERY AND CONSERVATION
In 2008 – 2010, A Rocha partnered with Conservation International’s Rapid Assessment Programme to explore wild places with the aim of of discovering and protecting new species.
Together with Papuan biologists and other specialists we surveyed some of the most remote and unexplored mountains in Papua New Guinea. MORE
This partnership resulted in the discovery of many plants, mammals, amphibians, insects and spiders new to science. MORE
