I founded Mongabay in 1999 out of my passion for nature and wildlife. Originally the site focused primarily on tropical rainforests, but today Mongabay provides news, information, and analysis on issues relating to a wide range of conservation and environmental issues.Mongabay established a non-profit -- Mongabay.org Corporation -- in 2011 to expand its impact by establishing an Indonesian-language environmental news service in Indonesia. Mongabay then shifted its other initiatives over the non-profit and expanded to other languages and geographies, including Spanish for audiences in Latin America in 2016; an India bureau in English (2017) and Hindi (2020), and a Brazilian Portuguese bureau in 2019.Mongabay has built a network of about 800 contributing journalists across about 80 countries (as of March 2022).*** If you are seeking employment, internships, or other opportunities at Mongabay, please see https://mongabay.org/programs/news/opportunities/ before contacting me.
