The project targets the protection of bee species by improving and modernizing the apiculture sector. The project explores the potential of bee farming in the area, and the likelihood that this initiative could expand to other areas within the Uukwaluudhi traditional authoridy jurisdiction. The aim of the project is to diversify local income and increase the income for community members through an integrated land management project. A pilot project will begin in the core wildlife area, where environmental and human interruptions are minimal and easily recorded.

The project will seek to improve bee farming via planting of trees and rehabilitation of relevant bee species with the local community participation. The project will also include training on modern apiculture techniques, and the harvesting of honey for local and export markets. Thus, this project will also contribute to poverty alleviation and reduce the influx of people to towns.
