New species
Across our reserve sites, People For Wildlife’s scientists are locating species previously unrecorded from those sites. On some occasions, we are also locating species completely new to science.
Our team uses morphological comparisons combined with molecular genetic analysis to confirm these new plants, animals, and fungi.
