LightHawk is an organization of conservation scientists – experts in using aviation for conservation.

We show conservationists and researchers how flight can augment their work, a concept that many have not considered.

Partnering with the leading conservation groups across North America, we design flight campaigns that protect the quality of life of people, animals and all living things.

Once aviation is integrated into a plan, we turn to our corps of 300 pilot donors who make aviation affordable by donating every aspect of flight.

We fly elected officials, conservation funders, print and visual media, conservation staff and board members to reveal the truth of the environment below.

From wolf and red panda transports, to condor tracking and transports, to monitoring wild salmon, we help our nation’s most endangered animals survive.
