Conservation Partners

Across North America, from the Pacific to the Atlantic and throughout Mesoamerica from Mexico to Panama, LightHawk donates flight to conservation groups to accelerate their efforts across a wide and comprehensive breadth of environmental issues.

Please contact us if the aerial perspective can help you reach your conservation goals.

Flight planning

LightHawk donates flights in the United States, Mexico, Central America and parts of Canada.

Strategic Partners are key conservation groups we have identified for ongoing, long-term work with LightHawk. We base our selection of potential strategic partners on many factors including short and long-term goals, reliability, location, type of work, and past work or relationship with LightHawk.

We continue to pursue strategic partnerships in every region.
