Intern and volunteering opportunities for mongabay.com
As mongabay.com expands, help is needed with various aspects of the site. This page will detail some areas where assistance would be appreciated. It will be updated as roles are defined and needs are identified.
TRANSLATION FROM ENGLISH TO OTHER LANGUAGES
mongabay seeks to reach the largest number of people possible with the message that rainforests are important ecosystems that should be treasured. As such, mongabay hopes to expand certain sections of the site [mostly kids.mongabay.com, rainforests.mongabay.com, and some articles from news.mongabay.com] into non-English languages. Translators will be credited for their work and can have a "bio" page (for example: Jiang Chun, Sarah Stosno, and Jeremy Hance). This may be helpful for resume-building as well as finding professional translation work. For news articles, mongabay is looking for word-for-word translation OR summarization, where only the key points are included (i.e. shorter than the original document).
