Mongabay Environmental News
Since then, Mongabay has grown into the world’s most popular rainforest information site and a well-known source of environmental news reporting and analysis. Today Mongabay draws more than 2.5 million visitors per month and publishes stories in half a dozen languages. It is commonly used as an information source by mainstream media, including The Economist, Bloomberg, National Geographic, and the Associated Press. Mongabay is also widely recognized as an accurate and trust-worthy source by civil society organizations as well as development agencies.
Over the years Mongabay’s impact has been substantial. Articles on the site have sparked protests in Madagascar against a French shipping company transporting timber logged illegally from rainforest reserves and helped block destructive projects like a plan to log 70 percent of Woodlark Island off New Guinea for a giant oil palm plantation. Mongabay.com stories have influenced investment flows, including a decision to spare Cameroon’s rainforests from logging in order to win payments from the carbon market. Stories and photos have even inspired art.
In 2012 Mongabay.org was formed to facilitate the development of new education and journalism initiatives and leverage its existing network, traffic, and reputation. Mongabay.org aims to raise awareness about social and environmental issues relating to forests and other ecosystems.

Love the app, until it recently became unusable. If you try to open a story you have a 50/50 chance of the app crashing or getting a completely blank screen. The articles written by Mongabay are as fantastic as ever. If only it were possible to enjoy them on the app, instead of having to Google the headline to actually read the article
Fantastic content covering a wide range of conservation and environmental news topics. Easy to use. Also provides links to fascinating interviews by Mongabay Newscast (their bi-weekly podcast). It really ticks all the boxes! A 'must-have' for anyone involved or interested in conservation and environmental science.
After an initial week of issues where after the app loaded it just went to a blank page and became unresponsive it now works. Great intuitive app, and the new outlet has always been considered by me as the best place to go for important environmental news you can't always find anywhere else!
Reading offline is the most missed feature. I often go hiking to remote places and would like to read there without signal. The app could have downloaded news while i was climbing a peak and save them (like localStorage in a browser). Thanks so much!
At least you fixed a bug that used to keep the app frozen when I want to exit. I've held off giving a review be sue of thst small bug. Nice app for real. Saves me going online and typing on the Google search window and getting lots of irrelevant stuff. Here I know exactly what I get on whichever topic I'm interested in.
Malfunctioning app! The settings screen keeps disappearing after less than a second. It flashes up the gone before the user could make any changes! The contents are OK but the app is crappie. Fire the developer!
As others have said the app does crash a bit when clicking on links, which is the only reason I'm not giving 5. Awesome organisation though. You could stand to make it more obvious on the app that you're funded by donations, for example a donate button at the end of each article or in the side section.
Great layout and news, but could add a feature to select what type of news you want in your feed. Overall, great app.
App is crashing every time I try to open any article. If issue doesn't get resolved, will surely uninstall it. Will change review after the issue gets rectified.
Really cool. I have Google Now, and sometimes I will get environmental news, but now I don't have to wait for an algorithm to find environmental news stories for me anymore. I wish I had thought of searching for an app likd this much sooner.
I've downloaded the app, I select the app which starts to open, then the screen goes blank. I've tried reinstalling but to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks
Interesting stuff, clear and well formatted. App isn't good with poor conections - tends to to crash.
I'm so upset that this app doesn't work! I absolutely love the categories but nothing loads whenever I open them. It's just a blank page.
It just goes blank on my MIUI 10 OS platform. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app quite a few times but to no avail. Was really looking forward to it.
Settings (the 3 dots in the right top corner) doesn't work. Please fix = 5 stars.
Amazingly informative. Covers almost all biodiversity and related issues of India as well as different regions of the world.
We need more journalists like the ones in Mongabay. The application is user-friendly as well
Just a little more interactive and interesting front page will help. 👍🏾😇
The app just opens to a blank page at the moment. Please fix it. I love your work :)
very good application. i can know what it's happening in the world and the dangers of environment
A great app for Environmental News and it's absolutely designed well.

Your contents are helpful to understand that the environment and ecology but Please update the map of India 🇮🇳, it's not a complete Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh visible in the map.
Have just installed. Hope to now investigate, learn, & explore.
amazing news that actually matters!
Great news, convient app
Monga Bay is a must for keeping up on ecology news.
We are not Passenger on Earth we are all crew
It's the best .
Free, yet I've never seen any ads-- and it is high quality formatting. This has a diverse selection of articles and is updated daily. I've seen instances where this app had a news story before the actual website (not sure if that was intentional). Easy and convient subject tabs and bookmarks make finding previous articles easy. Recommend for people interested in news about conservation or the environment in general.
