 I REFER to the catchy PNG LNG poster in the two dailies on Jun 3 boasting about the discovery of 16 plants and 77 mega-fauna, in which 60% are frogs. That is very impressive. However, someone should verity if the 60 frogs stated include the historical 50 new species collected by the World Wildlife Fund between 1997 and 2008 extracted from the Terrestrial Biodiversity Study in 2008. Original references that describe these impressive findings should also be provided. Thank you for the discovery and for putting PNG on the map. You shall discover more, but make sure you preserve what you discover.
