  • Spanning nearly 8 million hectares, the Mamberamo Basin is a sparsely populated floodplain surrounded by mountains in central Papua. The vast expanses of swamp forest remain almost completely undisturbed, providing one of the last extensive habitats for many lowland species. Papua, Indonesia.

  • Dendrobium cuthbertsonii. This tiny epiphytic orchid sports flowers which are much larger than the entire plant itself. It offers no nectar and is theorized to attract pollinating birds by its mimicry of similarly-sized and colored Rhododendron flowers which occur in the same habitat in the montane forests of New Guinea. Papua, Indonesia.

  • The upper pitcher of an undescribed carnivorous pitcher plant (Nepenthes sp.) from a remote mountain range in central New Guinea. Papua, Indonesia.

  • Rhododendron caespitosum, the world's smallest species of Rhododendron, growing on the trunks of tree ferns (Cyathea tomtosissima). Lake Habbema, Highland Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1714589.jpg
  • Endemic to Indonesian New Guinea, this pitcher plant (Nepenthes lamii) is known only from upper montane habitats, occasionally growing as high as 3500m where frosts occur. Highland Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1314834.jpg
  • Bulbophyllum elongatum. Although distributed throughout the tropics worldwide, orchids of the genus Bulbuphyllum reach their highest diversity in the cool montane forests of New Guinea, with over 600 recorded species. Papua, Indonesia.

  • Orchid (Dendrobium dekockii). Highland Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1713962.jpg

    cld1314665.jpg
  • A female giant shield bug (Lyramorpha cf. maculifer) exhibiting maternal care of her young nymphs. Like other shield bugs, tessarotimids utilize chemical defenses and are capable of squirting a caustic liquid when disturbed. Highland Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1414030.jpg
  • Giant ant plant (Myrmecodia lamii). The alpine meadows of central New Guinea are dominated by giant ant plants such as this one. Due to their association with ants they are able to effectively acquire nutrients despite the poor soil. Lake Habbema, Highland Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).

    cld1714854.jpg
  • Uplifted by the collision of continents, the jagged limestone peaks of New Guinea’s Central Range rise to nearly 5000 meters in height. The alpine vegetation of these remote mountain ridges and valleys are home to a rich assortment of endemic plants and animals, many of which are new to science. Highland Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1714482.jpg
  • The only member of its genus, the Plum-faced Lorikeet (Oreopsittacus arfaki) is endemic to the montane cloud forests of New Guinea. Highland Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).

  • The remarkable feathered antennae of a Callirhipid cedar beetle (Callirhipis sp.) from the montane rainforests of New Guinea. Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1414158.jpg
  • With over 320 described species and probably as many more yet awaiting discovery, New Guinea hosts a staggering diversity of frogs. This unidentified tree frog (Litoria sp.) was photographed in the moss forest of a remote mountain in the northern Jayawijaya Range. Highland Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1414044.jpg

  • Uplifted by the collision of continents, the jagged limestone peaks of New Guinea’s Central Range rise to nearly 5000 meters in height. Here, at the edge of the island’s divide, thick clouds rise from the rainforest plains of the south and push up against towering cliffs. Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1714495p.jpg
  • This miniature orchid (Bulbophyllum vanroyenii) grows on the trunks of tree ferns high in the alpine habitats of New Guinea's mountains.
