Google Earth reveals hidden oasis, BirdLife, 26-01-2009
Good use of Google Earth if it leads to preserving this area - not if it means the tourist industry or developers try to move in:
"Space may be the final frontier, but scientists who recently discovered a hidden forest in Mozambique show the uncharted can still be under our noses. BirdLife were part of a team of scientists who used Google Earth to identify a remote patch of pristine forest. An expedition to the site discovered new species of butterfly and snake, along with seven Globally Threatened birds."
