Aloha ʻĀina Drones has over 30 years of combined expertise in using drones to support conservation efforts in Hawaiʻi and beyond. We are leading authorities in transforming cutting edge drone technologies and methods into practical,  game-changing conservation tools. 

We have used advanced drone operations, technologies, and methods to protect native species and ecosystems across the globe, including work with endemic, endangered, and invasive plant, bird,  ungulate, and predator species in Hawaiʻi, the Galapagos, Polynesia, Micronesia, and the Caribbean.

We are experienced in the following conservation focused drone operations:

• Invasive species detection, monitoring, and control, including invasive weeds, rodents, feral ungulates, insects, birds, and forest diseases.  

• Native species detection, monitoring, and restoration, including endemic and endangered birds, plants, and  phonologies.

• Native seed and mycorrhizae deployment

• High-resolution mapping of island-wide habitat types and ecological systems.
