That might sound like an impossible dream,but Bexler turned it into a reality.
In December 2015,he and a team of Australian and American scientists ventured into an isolated tropical rain forest on the island of New Guinea.They were the first people ever to enter the mist-covered region."As time was limited,we were dropped in by helicopter.Once we were on the ground,there were no trails anywhere;it was really hard to get around," Bexler says.
Within minutes of landing,the team spotted a black chicken-like bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck.The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeaters - the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years.
The honeyeater wasn't the only surprise for the scientists.They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species - 13 birds of paradise,20 frogs,four butterflies,and five palms."
We were like kids in a candy store," Bexler recalls."Everywhere we looked,we saw amazing things we had never seen before."
The newfound species didn't shy away from the scientists.Two long-nosed echidnas - primitive egg-laying mammals - let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them.An echidna looks like a hedgehog and is also called a spiny anteater.
Bexler thinks the animals weren't scared because they had never seen humans before."In almost all parts of New Guinea,animals are hunted for food,and because of this,they are very cautious of people," he explains."This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people."
Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia.Local people called Kwerba hunt and collect plants from the outer-edges of the forest but told Bexler that not even their ancestors had gone so far into the woods.The wooded area is approximately a 10-day walk from the nearest village.
Bexler and his team did not have enough time during the expedition to study the area completely.They hope to return and expect to record many more undiscovered species."We just scratched the surface," Bexler says."Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery."

A team of divers and environmentalists pulled thousands of plastic bags from the water near Greece's Andros Island this month.The workers described what they found as a "gulf full of plastic corals".
Seas polluted with plastic have become one of the most shocking signs of human damage to the planet."It was a very scary thing to see,"said Arabella Ross,a volunteer diver with Aegean Rebreath.The group carries out underwater and coastal clean-ups."It really shook me and I think it really shook everyone who saw it,"she added.
The Mediterranean is among the seas with the highest levels of plastic pollution in the world,the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said in a report in June.Greece produces about 700,000 tons of plastic waste a year,or about 68 kilos per person.About 11,500 tons enter its seas every year.Almost 70% of that returns to the Greek coast,one of the longest in the world.The sea pollution off Andros is thought to date back to 2011,when heavy rain caused a waste site to collapse.Most of the waste fell into the sea.
Aegean Rebreath divers removed blue,black and yellow plastic bags caught between reefs and among fish.It was "like the paradise of the Caribbean Sea,where you find coral reefs everywhere of every colour.It was the exact same thing,but instead of corals it was bags," diver Arabella Ross said.
The team managed to remove only a small part of the plastic waste they found.They also pulled up 300 kilograms of old fishing traps-known as "ghost nets"-from Andros.In a separate operation in June off Salamina,a small island near Athens,they removed two tons.
"If people are wondering where their rubbish ends up,we see it each time we go into the water," Ross said.
