Kikeo and The Whale is a beautiful story that submerges first readers in a sea of adventure. The oceans sustain all life on Earth. It gives our children, and us, half of the oxygen we breath and the seafood we eat, it regulates our climate, and captures much of the carbon pollution we put in the atmosphere - and it also allows us to have fun, learn and explore. Overfishing, pollution, and climate change are the main threats to ocean life. In the same way our Pristine Seas project works to inspire governments to create large protected areas, other conservation efforts are happening around the world, led by writers, photographers, artists and scientists. Kike Calvo, a talented photographer and conservationist, has written a beautiful bedtime story of an encounter between Kikeo, a fictional young explorer and photographer, and a baby whale and her mom. The adventure unfolds with a clear message on the importance of preserving our oceans. Kikeo's adventures teach our children some key lessons in tolerance, conservation and respect to the environment. As the character describes itself, "we should never lose that little kid who will always be in our heart." Hand-in-hand with the author, young ones will discover inspiring illustrations, superb underwater whale photographs by Kike, along with the story in this special edition written in English and Spanish. This children's book comes at a time when the pressure on our ocean resources is unprecedented and accelerating. Therefore anything we can do to inspire and teach future generations is crucial.

My creator tells me I represent strength, strong will, friendship, energy and a never-ending ability to dream." - Kikeo "There are many lessons my adventures around the world have taught me, but probably the most important one is that we should never stop dreaming: to dream learning and to learn dreaming. Make sure you never lose that little kid who will always be in your heart." - Kikeo In a world where information overflow and messages of consumption overwhelm us, the books on Kikeo's adventures aim to stimulate children¿s imaginations while they learn.

The Drone and sUAV Pilot Logbook has been created by National Geographic Image Collection photographer and sUAV expert Kike Calvo, author of the National Geographic "Drones and Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles " blog series, to fulfill the needs of drone pilots. This Log will help you keep a detailed record of all your flying missions, regardless of your experience.

"Photogrammetry with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) is a rapidly maturing technology. Being versatile and inexpensive, it has the potential to offer solutions in a wide range of applications, such as forestry inventory, precision agriculture, flood hazard assessment, pollution monitoring, land survey, and integrity assessment of industrial facilities. Written in the form of a field guide, this book explains, in easy-to-understand language, basic concepts of photogrammetry and spatial data, and techniques for mosaicking drone photos. The book is not intended as a complete "do-it-yourself" guide, but after reading it, you get a good sense about what hardware and software parts you will need to assemble a drone system on your own. Or if you have the funds, simply purchase a commercial product and follow the steps laid out in the book to design your application. Towards that end, you will find the survey of industrial leaders of environmental drone applications particularly useful. The author of the book, Kike Calvo, is an experienced National Geographic Creative photographer. The explanation of technical jargons is based on his own experience and interviews with his colleagues. Some of the questions and answers are included in the book. These are questions you probably would have and Calvo has already got expert answers for you. I find this style of writing quite effective, injecting liveness into what otherwise could be dry reading. UAV photogrammetry is not just about obtaining pretty pictures. To realize its potential you must "georeference" the pictures, produce an "orthomosaic", and make "3D point clouds". Read the book to find out what all these mean, and much more." Foreword by Xuhui Lee. Sara Shallenberger Brown Professor, Yale University. Editor-in-Chief, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology.

What is inside this book?¿ Intro to Using Drones for Conservation¿ New Technologies and Remote Communities¿ Logbook Keeping and Mission Planning. Best Ways to Back Up Your Aerial Footage and Stills¿ Understanding the Basics of Infrared Cameras¿ Case Studies from Yale, Harvard, National Geographic and more.Foreword by Thomas E. Lovejoy, Ph.D., Professor of Environmental Science and Policy at George Mason University, and National Geographic Conservation Fellow"Drones for conservation is essentially just in its infancy, but while we can lament the possible consequent avoidance of a good slog of a field study, we can already see multiple benefits falling from the skies as it were.../...So Drones for Conservation is very much a first. With actual examples from around the world, it also has very practical sections on how to use drones effectively - as usual there is never a substitute for carefully thinking out a project in advance."
