As we reach the end of a tumultuous year, here’s a look back at Mongabay’s 2020.

Overall, Mongabay published more than 5,000 posts in 2020 across our five bureaus: Global English, Mongabay Indonesia, Mongabay Latam (Spanish), Mongabay Brasil (Portuguese), and Mongabay India (both English and Hindi), and another 200 translations across Chinese, French, German, Italian, and Japanese. These are the ten most popular stories for the Global English news web site, news.mongabay.com.

Mongabay’s on-site traffic in 2020 amounted to 142 million pageviews, a 40% increase over 2019. This tally excludes readership of Mongabay content republished on other sites and within social media platforms.

Thank you for your interest in our content this year.

Editor’s note: Due to a database issue, the original version of this post omitted several of the most popular stories of 2020. We’ve since added these, so the list includes all articles with more than 250,000 pageviews during the year, rather than just the top 10.
