Pictures released on December 13, 2020, by Conservation International show species recently found in Zongo Valley, north of La Paz in Bolivia. A scientific expedition discovered 20 new species of flora and fauna in the Bolivian Andes, including a snake, a viper, and a frog, and found four other species that were believed to be extinct.
