Scientists have produced a new map that helps find the species that are undiscovered and are unknown to science. Scientists claim that they can highlight the under-explored corners of the earth with this new map. These remaining underexplored corners may be the home of species unknown to science.
This model is based on the speculative cartography techniques and created by Ecologists Mario Moura and Walter Jetz. It is all based on newly discovered species and an existing database of known species.
They also accept that it may not be a 100% accurate model, but it may determine how many species may be unknown to science and where these undiscovered species of plants and animals can be found.
It acknowledges some factors like sociological, environmental and biological.

“Conservative estimates suggest only 13% to 18% of all living species may be known at this point, although this number could be as low as...
