The full article isn't available any more, but this is what I remember from when I read it a couple days ago:
Scientists recently found a new place in remote New Guinea that is practically unreachable except by air. There they found hundreds of new species of mammals, birds, plants, and other things. Among the birds found were two species previously thought to be almost extinct and new varieties of "birds of paradise." Mammals found included new kinds of tree kangaroos and the extremely rare echidna. For the most part, the animals ignored the scientists and were not afraid, indicating little to no previous exposure to humans. The only nearby people are an indigenous tribe who would not have been able to get to the site easily.
