"153 scientists from 20 countries participated in the survey of Espiritu Santo [Vanuatu] in the South Pacific, scouring caves, mountains, reefs, shallows, and forests collecting species. Out of over 10,000 species collected, the researchers are predicting that
as many as 2000 may be previously unknown to the scientific community."
