Hundreds of new
species discovered in fragile Eastern Himalayan region

A sneezing monkey, a walking fish and a jewel-like snake are just some of a
biological treasure trove of over 200 new species discovered in the Eastern

A sneezing monkey, a walking fish and a jewel-like snake are just some of a
biological treasure trove of over 200 new species discovered in the Eastern
Himalayas in recent years, according to a new report by WWF.

The report, Hidden Himalayas: Asia's Wonderland released
on World Habitat Day maps out scores of new species found by scientists from
various organizations including 133 plants, 39 invertebrates, 26 fish, 10
amphibians, one reptile, one bird and one mammal.

The volume and diversity of discoveries, 211 in total between 2009 and
2014, highlight the region as one of the most biologically diverse places on
Earth; the discoveries listed equating to an average of 34 new species
discovered annually for the past six years.

"I am excited that the region -- home to a staggering number of
species including some of the most charismatic fauna -- continues to surprise
the world with the nature and pace of species discovery," said Ravi Singh,
CEO of WWF-India and Chair of the WWF Living Himalayas Initiative.

Some of the most striking discoveries include a vibrant blue dwarf
'walking' snakehead fish, which can breathe atmospheric air and survive on land
for up to four days, although moving in a manner much clumsier than a
slithering snake. The report details an unfortunate monkey whose upturned nose
leads to a sneeze every time the rain falls, and a living gem -- the bejeweled
lance-headed pit viper, which could pass as a carefully crafted piece of
jewellery.

The report also underscores the dire threats facing the vibrant ecosystems
across a region spanning Bhutan, north-east India, Nepal, north Myanmar and the
southern parts of Tibet. The report found that as a consequence of development,
only 25% of the original habitats in the region remain intact and hundreds of
species that live in the Eastern Himalayas are considered globally threatened.

The region is currently facing a wide range of threats and pressures, with
climate change by far the most serious. Population growth, deforestation,
overgrazing, poaching, the wildlife trade, mining, pollution and hydropower
development have all contributed to the pressures on the fragile ecosystems in
the region, the report says.

"The challenge is to preserve our threatened ecosystems before these
species, and others yet unknown are lost," said Sami Tornikoski leader of
the WWF Living Himalayas Initiative.

"The Eastern Himalayas is at a crossroads. Governments can decide
whether to follow the current path towards fragile economies that do not fully
account for environmental impacts, or take an alternative path towards greener,
more sustainable economic development," said Tornikoski.

The stakes are high as the Himalayas are home to at least 10,000 plant
species, 300 mammal species, 977 bird species, 176 reptiles, 105 amphibians and
269 types of freshwater fish. In addition to this, between 1998 and 2008 in the
Eastern Himalayas, at least 354 new species were discovered.

In a bid to protect the region's rich diversity of flora and fauna, WWF is
actively involved in supporting the countries of the Eastern Himalayas'
progress towards green economies that value ecosystems and the services they
provide to the millions of people in the region. Located in one of the most
ecologically fragile regions on Earth, the WWF Living Himalayas Initiative
urges a strong regional collaboration to ensure that people in this region,
live within the ecological means and remain within the boundaries of one
planet.

WWF continues to develop and support programmes in the region that help
secure a brighter future for the region's people and biodiversity, including
its rich array of species -- those that we already know and those still waiting
to be discovered.
