“Mongabay has a global network of journalists who provide local observations and insights to advance understanding of environmental impacts on the ground. Through their storytelling, Mongabay journalists make complex concepts come alive, elevate the voices of local communities, and touch diverse audiences around the world. The stories are regularly picked up by conventional news outlets, expanding their reach and impact, and moving decision makers to action. We are thrilled to partner with Mongabay in our movement for a healthy climate.

Help Students Reach for Their Highest College Goals

We drove the elephant bird to extinction, nearly eradicated a tree with the potential to treat HIV, and now we watch as the Sumatran Rhino fades into history.

Mongabay’s environmental journalism and education do more than inform – they change policy and, in doing so, save lives.

To bridge the gap between science and action, ecological data must be turned into actionable insights that drive changes in our policies, culture, and protection of the planet.

Two months ago, a groundbreaking satellite was launched, capable of assessing plant biodiversity from space. Yet despite these technological advances, much of the available ecological data remains unanalyzed and out of reach.

Mongabay is raising $10 million to launch the Mongabay Data Studio. With your generous support, Mongabay will train journalists to turn this critical data into actionable stories that can save ecosystems, species, and life-saving flora – before it’s too late.
