This article is an obvious hoax. No way can there be new species to discover. Everyone knows that mankind and our slashing and burning of old growth forests, our coal fired power plants, and our much dreaded SUV's are killing off species by the hundreds every day.
This is an obvious attempt to illustrate that fact. I don't go all the way with it but I think there should be some sort of compromise between the economic interests of the people and the legitimate concerns of the scientists documenting these finds.
