Photography and drone exploration help us connect with nature and document the beauty of the world. However, it is our responsibility to ensure our actions do not harm the places we visit, the wildlife we encounter, or the communities we pass through. By practising responsible photography, we can protect the environments we love for future explorers.
• Stay on marked paths and avoid trampling vegetation.
• Do not disturb wildlife for a photo.
• Pack out everything you bring with you.
• Avoid using flash on wildlife.
• Be considerate when photographing people and their property.
• Seek permission before photographing individuals or culturally sensitive sites.
• Respect local customs and traditions.
• Fly only where drones are permitted.
• Avoid flying over wildlife or crowded areas.
• Follow local drone regulations.
• Maintain a safe distance and respect privacy.
Your photography should leave no negative impact. Aim to leave a place as you found it, or better.
Use your photography to educate, inspire, and encourage others to protect the places you photograph.
Check our Guidelines for sharing locations responsibly, or Contact if you have questions about responsible photography practices.
