About

Mongabay India is an environment and conservation platform that brings high-quality, original reports from nature’s frontline in India. We look at India’s development through the prism of environment and conservation. Mongabay India is the India-specific portal of  mongabay.com, and is published in English and Hindi. Rhett A. Butler founded mongabay.com in 1999 out of his passion for tropical forests. He named the site Mongabay after an island in Madagascar. Our main interests are forests, wildlife, oceans, and the conservation sector. We also undertake deep dives on specific topics and geographies.
