Luckily for the habitat, it's not a very friendly place.

 

So they need to add a hotel and safari cars?

In terms of climate and terrain, Papua New Guinea is possibly the foulest places on Earth. Read "Touched With Fire" by Eric Bergerud. It's about the land war in the South Pacific, including Papua New Guinea. Excellent book...but more to this topic, it contains many, many excellent descriptions of the terrain and climate in the South Pacific that demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that Papua New Guinea is truly the armpit of the planet.

"Inconceivable"

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

[A team of scientists from Britain, the United States and Papua New Guinea found more than 40 previously unidentified species when they climbed into the kilometre-deep crater of Mount Bosavi and explored a pristine jungle habitat teeming with life that has evolved in isolation since the volcano last erupted 200,000 years ago. In a remarkably rich haul from just five weeks of exploration, the biologists discovered 16 frogs which have never before been recorded by science, at least three new fish, a new bat and a giant rat, which may turn out to be the biggest in the world
