It’s #WorldWildlifeDay! 🌍🦅
From transporting endangered species to flying aerial surveys, LightHawk uses the power of flight to protect wildlife & the places they depend on.
Conservation takes perspective—& that’s why we fly. 🛩️

Our coastlines face growing challenges—from erosion and flooding to habitat loss and development pressures.
LightHawk provides the aerial view that reveals patterns you can’t see from the ground—insights that guide on-the-ground solutions.

#TBT: In 2021, LightHawk and American Rivers flew the Yampa—for a film telling the story of one of the last free-flowing rivers in the Colorado Basin.
Today, it’s still at the heart of the fight for resilient rivers in the West.

“I had not realized before the flight the sheer size and impact of the Everglades to our local economy and well being.”
– Betty De Aragon, Brickell Magazine
LightHawk flights don’t just show the view—they reveal the significance.

A view from the air can change everything. As Joseph Quiroz, WY Outdoor Council, shared:
“Even after 20 years of land travel in the Red Desert, seeing it from the air broadened my appreciation & put me in a better position to advocate for its conservation.
#AerialPerspective #FlyingForGood
160 flights. 500 hours in the air. And it’s only September.
Every LightHawk mission adds perspective—and impact—to conservation projects across the country. Can’t wait to see where the rest of 2025 takes us.

#TBT: Oil spills, tanker traffic, climate impact—in 2018, we flew photographer Garth Lenz over the the Trans Mountain Pipeline route, capturing images to raise awareness of the expansion risks.
The issues remain urgent. So does the need for perspective.

Sometimes the best way to understand a problem is to change your perspective.
We flew a photographer over fracking sites in PA—capturing how close they are to local watersheds. Hard to see from the ground. Impossible to ignore from the air. 🛩️

🛩️ We gave a lift to some fellow aviators—300 masked bobwhite quail chicks + 5 adults!
Volunteer pilot Warren Dean flew them from the George Miksch Sutton Avian Research Center in OK to AZ, where they’ll be released at Buenos Aires NWR to help restore this endangered species.

Aerial images continue to give the conservation community a vital perspective.

📸 Happy #WorldPhotographyDay!
LightHawk flies photographers to capture aerial images that inspire action & conservation.
They say a photo is worth 1,000 words… from 1,000 feet, we think it’s worth 10,000. 🛩️

🦅 When a California condor vanishes, it’s all hands—and wings—on deck.
LightHawk flies telemetry missions to help wildlife teams locate missing birds fast.
It’s how aviation is accelerating conservation from above.
