Local BangaloreTeam Mongabay Story
Mongabay is a non-profit environmental science and conservation news organisation that employs over 800 reporters in over 70 countries to create original reports in English, Indonesian, Spanish, French, Hindi, and Brazilian Portuguese. They are committed to objective journalism that is supported by evidence. Out of his affinity for tropical forests, Rhett A. Butler started Mongabay.com in 1999. According to the website's founder, "mongabay" is an anglicised spelling and pronunciation of Nosy Mangabe, an island off the coast of Madagascar. He adds, "it is primarily recognised as a refuge for the Aye-aye, a unique and peculiar lemur famed for its odd look." Mongabay has now expanded to become the world's most famous rainforest data site as well as a well-known source of environmental news reporting and analysis.
Mongabay National Reserve
Forests, wildlife, oceans, and the conservation sector are their core beats. A few specific reporting initiatives, such as deep dives into specific special themes and locations, are also undertaken. They provide a number of newsletters and RSS/XML feeds, as well as having a presence on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Representatives from development organisations, biodiversity conservation ministries, scientists, corporate leaders, and civil society are among Mongabay's readers. Hundreds of local, national, regional, and worldwide publications, ranging from National Geographic Indonesia to Smithsonian Journal, syndicate our articles, increasing our reach beyond their 10 million monthly website visits.
Mongabay has had a significant effect over the years. Blogs on the site have provoked outrage in Madagascar against a French shipping company transporting fraudulently logged timber from rainforest reserves, as well as helped to halt destructive projects such as a plan to log 70% of Woodlark Island off the coast of New Guinea for a massive oil palm plantation. Mongabay.com articles have impacted investment flows, such as a decision to protect Cameroon's rainforests from logging in exchange for carbon market payments. Even art has been inspired by stories and images. Mongabay.org was founded in 2012 to help new education and journalism initiatives get off the ground by leveraging its existing network, traffic, and reputation.
Mongabay Mission
Mongabay's objective is to build consciousness about sustainable development concerning tropical forests and other ecosystems, animals, and the vital role that natural ecosystems play in sustaining essential services, such as global temperature system stabilisation. Mongabay.org's first initiative was the establishment of Mongabay.co.id, an Indonesian environmental news service managed by an Indonesian staff. Mongabay established the Spanish-language Mongabay-Latam in 2016, the Indian-language Mongabay in 2018, the Portuguese-language Mongabay-Brasil in 2019, and the Hindi-language Mongabay in 2020.
Awards
Time magazine named Mongabay one of the top "green websites" in 2008. Rhett Ayers Butler, the creator, has become the first journalist to receive the Field Museum's Parker-Gentry Award in 2014 for contributions "in the field of conservation biology whose actions had a massive effect on conserving the world's national habitat.
Mongabay News was transferred to a non-profit organisation in 2015, and all news content generated up to that time was contributed to the organisation.
