Reflection:

In my biology class we have studied the environments and Darwinian explanations for biodiversity and natural variation. In Indonesia there is much diversity within the wild life. This article also shows how far we are from discovering all the animals on the face of this planet. We have discovered a large amount, but we still have much to go. I wanted to share this with the class because new discoveries is a topic that most people are interested in.
