New Animal Species versus Animal Species Extinction

I am glad to read about the possible discovery of NEW animal species in the Philippines

From Yahoo

The Philippines, located at the center of the coral triangle, may have even more secrets hidden in its various ecosystems.

The 2011 Philippine Expedition spearheaded by the University of the Philippines (UP) and the California Academy of Sciences (CAS) announced on Wednesday that it has discovered 75 possibly new species of animals, inserts and sea creatures endemic to the Philippines.

The coral triangle is refers to the area of tropical waters which holds the highest diversity of marine life, according to the World Wildlife Fund.

The reason I’m delighted is because despite claims of alleged risks from animal species extinction brought about ‘mostly’ by environmental destruction or habitat loss (as alleged by communists masquerading as environmentalists), the discovery of new species only shows of the natural life cycles of the animal species, in spite of our presence.
