Drones revolutionise science communication by capturing unprecedented perspectives that were previously inaccessible or prohibitively expensive. Aerial photography and videography provide a "bird's-eye view" of vast ecosystems, offering a powerful visual context for complex environmental data.

Key impacts include:

• Scale and Context: High-resolution drone footage illustrates the magnitude of phenomena like glacial retreat or deforestation, making abstract statistics tangible.

• Safety and Access: Drones film hazardous or remote areas—such as active volcanoes or dense canopies—bringing viewers to the frontlines of research safely.

• Engagement: Cinematic aerial visuals are highly engaging, helping scientific stories "cut through" digital noise to influence public opinion and policy.
