The Muller Range is one of the last great 'biological unknowns' of Papua New Guinea.  This expedition has helped to fill a major gap in knowledge and discovered many new species.

In just two months of field work in the isolated mountains of Papua New Guinea last year, CI's Rapid Assessment Program team discovered around 200 species previously unknown to science.
