Ars Technica science blog Noble Intent noted the similarity of this Lost World with the popular novel, movie and TV adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyles Lost World of Prehistoric dinosaurs. Since several species found in this isolated forest were thought extinct as well species never documented. For instance species that had coexisted in the region with the Dodo bird.
Several newly discovered species of animals have appeared in the Indonesian islands this past year as more humans expand into the old growth forest, which is being destroyed by Archer Daniel Midlands (ADM) and Cargill for the creation of Palm plantations for palm oil.
The slash and burn economy of these International Agribusiness giants has created conditions where humans are going further into ancient forests than have been explored even by the native peoples who have lived there for thousands of years. It is currently threatening the very existenence of our closest primate relative the Orangutan.Genetic study shows direct human link to orangutan decline
The discovery of this Lost World shows that we still have remote areas in the world that can bring forth discoveries of new species, unknown life forms or those thought extinct giving greater credence to Cryptozoology.

The fact that the skeletal remains of a recently deceased race of pigmy human was also found in Indonesia, Our Lady of Flores, gives greater credence to the idea that their may be aYeti or Sasquatch in remote areas of Nepal and China or North America.
