Actually, they were discovered five years ago. I explain what really happen on my blog. The short version, though, is that the paper got further presented at a conference recently, even though one was published on the find a while ago, so they decided to make a big press release like it just happened. Truth is those 6,000 are already factored into the 2008 IUCN Red List stance for this species - which is still vulnerable, even with the 6K find. Basically, this is old news jazzed up like new news.
