March 2–7, 2026 |  Nairobi & Konza, Kenya

The Nature Drone Forum (NDF) is a week-long global event showcasing how drones and data are transforming nature conservation. Building on the legacy of the African Drone Forum (Rwanda, 2020), the Elevate Africa UAS Summit (Kenya, 2024) and the South Asia Drone Forum (Nepal, 2025), NDF 2026 brings together conservationists, researchers, innovators, policymakers, and industry leaders. 

Beyond technology, NDF is about outreach and impact: inspiring youth through STEM flying & mapping, amplifying new voices with Voices from the Sky, supporting women leaders in conservation, and demonstrating how drones can do good for nature and society.
