Found this this morning while browsing the news, its nice to know that theres still tribes undiscovered out there! makes you wonder what else we're missing out on..

Plenty of medically valuable plants, for example. It is estimated that every hour 1-10 botanic species that could show us a combination of substances medical research could benefit from get wiped out by us with us even not knowing that they have been there.

Also: the deep seas below a depth of lets say 3000m. as authors love to put it: we know less about that than we know about the moon.
