Lighthawk

Lighthawk flies to save the earth. Lighthawk exists because we know excellent conservation work can be done with aircraft. Most conservation groups are unaware of the efficiency savings and impact to perceptions aerial views can provide. Even when they do, flights may seem unaffordable to them. Lighthawk's conservation professionals identify significant conservation issues and work with leading conservation partner organizations to co-design effective flight campaigns where aviation can quickly accelerate the work to more quickly achieve significant outcomes. Once campaigns are designed, we leverage a nationwide network of more than 350 highly-experienced volunteer pilots who make flights affordable by donating their time, aircraft, expertise and fuel. We are able provide flights to our partners without charge because of the charitable support of our pilots.
