The cause of using atomic bomb back during world war has brought result in forming new mutation. Such as transparent frog found in US, or a 10 meter warm, these are all considered as result caused by radio active. Considering this fact, when we look at the new monkey discovered in Kenya, we should not ignore the possibility of the specie being formed through the affect of radio activeness; before when scientists had discovered the transparent frog, it was also considered as a new species, but later on they modified their presentation saying the species was just a side affect from radio activeness.
More over, if scientists concludes that it is a new species never found before, the next question we face is "how are we going to prevent them from becoming extinct?" Since the species was not found until now, it means the population of the species is very less. However, hunters have already started to look for the Cercopithecus Lomamiensis, and if no actions are being held towards preserving this "newly" discovered species, soon or later, the species will either become an endangered or an extinct species.

To what extent do humans have the need to discover and conserve new species, and why?
In nowadays 21st century, people often proudly say that we have achieved a number of accomplishments and we have reached the peak of assembling more information and knowledge by now.
However, this is not true. We still do have more and more new things to explore and study, and this will be a never-ending cycle.
It seems there are still hidden places where they are not really touched by the outside world and people.
Therefore there would be unpredictable numbers of undiscovered species. Some people spend years to explore and investigate about one single new species, and spend all their time, money, effort on those.
Again, so to what extent do humans have the need to discover and conserve new species, and why is that so?
Thank you :)
