Wildlands

One of the best ways to experience the interconnection of wild places is from the window of a small aircraft. This perspective softens borders and shows how vulnerable wildlands are to being fragmented.

Wildlife

While LightHawk’s efforts to preserve wildlands inevitably benefit wildlife, LightHawk also mobilizes flight for wildlife conservation in other ways.

Oceans, Reefs & Coastlines

Our influence on the ocean can seem like just a drop of rain in an immense sea, hardly making a splash. Yet LightHawk flights have the power to illuminate the issues that impact these waters and show how caring people can make a big difference.

Freshwater & Wetlands

Freshwater sustains life on our planet. To protect it, LightHawk flights provide the perspective to help address issues that affect this vital resource from source to sea.
