'Scientists have announced the discovery of 20 new species in the
Bolivian Andes, as well as sightings of plants and animals not seen for
decades.
Located near the Bolivian capital of La Paz, Zongo Valley is known as
the "heart" of the region. High up steep, rugged mountains are an array
of well-preserved habitats, which are thriving with lush biodiversity.
It was among the cloud forests that researchers discovered the "mountain
fer-de-lance" viper, "Bolivian flag snake" and "lilliputian frog," as
well as glorious orchids and butterfly species.'
