These environments are either know for being totally isolated from the world, or may be notorious for having endangered species. All-in-all, there is no harm in the continuous effect to enlighten many of these places... Here a few to marvel at... Talamanca Range-La Amistad Reserves / La Amistad National Park, Panama/Costa Rica The Cordillera de Talamanca is the only location in Central America that shows evidence of having been sculpted by glaciers. The last glaciation was 25,000 years ago. All the best animals live there. Pumas, tiger cats, jaguars, tapirs, ocelots, spider monkeys, the resplendent quetzal (that's its real name), and the very elusive green and black high-altitude viper. A nice mix of animal friends from North and South America, meeting in Central America to live in tropical harmony. Lorentz National Park, Indonesia The largest protected area in Southeast Asia, Lorentz National Park covers 2.35 million hectares on the island of Papua. Its mountain range was created by the collision of Australian and Pacific tectonic plates. It's the only protected area in the world where you can find snow-capped mountains (the one above is Mount Puncak Jaya) and lowland wetlands and everything in between: alpine vegetation, marshes, coastal mangroves, and other great stuff. What I have learned from this theme, is that there is a win-win situation for ecosystems to be known or unknown... On one hand, an isolated system brings forth safety and security for wildlife and fauna species. On the other hand, if an ecosystem is under distress... Then humankind should be aware so as to save it. Reference list: Global Post, November 25, 2013, By Timothy McGrat.
