The first priority was to embark on effective anti - poaching initiatives. Individuals from the local community were recruited and trained as wildlife scouts (some of them were ex-hunters).

They have been supplied with the necessary equipment and transport to facilitate the protection of LUWIRE. They maintain daily radio contact with their established bases and, when required, the LUWIRE aircraft. With these new measures in place there has been an immense improvement in wildlife control in the first year of operation. LUWIRE’s other priorities are to develop its relationship with the local communities and establish programs, such as focusing on some basic requirements for essential equipment and training, which is currently being implemented.

LUWIRE is also embarking on a pilot project to assist in the overseas marketing of the communities' “honey” industry, and in support of local businesses LUWIRE is currently purchasing most products for its operations from the local market. Several other pilot projects are being studied to assist the community to become more self-reliant.
