I will be bringing more on board later, but for now here's the first article about the new plant species found in Fiji. 


Here's the takeaway:

1. The species was found on the border of grassland and primary forest, highly vulnerable to bush fires.

2. Curators say they only managed to find one plant of this kind.

3. Commercial agricultural activities and uncontrolled bush fires are the main threats to this species.

4. A simple fire could destroy it (the remainder of this species) in a matter of minutes.
