The World Wildlife Fund said in a statement Monday, the discoveries include 30 species of fish, two tree frogs, 16 ginger species, three tree species and one large-leafed plant.
The WWF says some of the species were found in the heart of Borneo, in a 220,000 square kilometer area covered with equatorial rain forest.
One of the most amazing discoveries is the world's second smallest vertebrate - a tiny fish measuring less than one centimeter - that thrives in the highly acidic blackwater peat swamps.
