　　ago，a young traveler named Rhett Butler from San Francisco，California，visited the Sabah rainforest on Malaysian Borneo.In the rainforest，he watched a bird flying through the trees.The beautiful sight left quite an impression on him.But weeks later，back home，Rhett Butler got the news that trees in the area he visited had been cut down.

　　That experience led Rhett Butler to write a book about rainforests and threats to their existence.But he did not publish the book.Instead，in 1999，he created a website，using his research for the book.The site is www.mongabay.com.His purpose was to inform the public of tropical rainforests.But the subject quickly developed.As a former businessman，he became a respected writer of science and environmental stories.

　　The popularity of Mongabay.com attracted advertisers.Small ads on the site pay for its operations.www.mongabay.com has grown and led to other sites，for example，www.kids.mongabay.com，a site for children; www.wildMadagascar.org，which is about the island that Rhett Butler called his favorite place.

　　To keep his website going，he travels around the world on several major trips each year.His working tools are a laptop computer，cameras and some diving equipment.He often calls on experts for information.For example，he interviewed Alison Jolly，a top expert on lemurs.He interviewed Rodney Jackson，a biologist who established the Snow Leopard Conservancy.

　　Stories like these have made Mongabay a favorite place on the Internet for researchers，students and teachers.In April，www.time.com named it one of the fifteen top climate and environment websites in the world.
