Mongabay.com aims to raise interest in wildlife and wildlands while promoting awareness of environmental issues. Originally the site was based around a text on tropical rainforests developed between 1996 and 2000,  but today the site has expanded to other topics.  In 2005, Mongabay released a kids version of the rainforest site and launched the mongabay environmental science news site. In 2006, they ntroduced the first foreign language versions of the kids' site.
