42. Eyes in the Sky: Conservation From Above

Hi, everyone, and welcome back to the In Our Backyard podcast with your host, Jen Galler.

And in this episode, I talk with Laura Early, who is the communications and development director at Southwings, a nonprofit that connects volunteer pilots with conservation groups and journalists to document environmental issues from the air.

We'll talk about how aerial storytelling can reveal things that aren't always visible from the ground, who these volunteer pilots are, and what inspires them to take to the skies.

We'll also explore some of the environmental challenges Southwings is documenting and how those images can influence conservation, journalism, and policy.

To contact and connect with Laura will be in the show notes below.

Thanks for listening and enjoy the episode.
