Air rescue services will mitigate human-wildlife conflict. Policies managing human-wildlife conflict will be implemented, protecting both humans and wildlife. 

Gastronomy Tourism will boost employment and revenue, alongside Township Tourism. Alternative ivory value unlocking methods will fund wildlife management and community development. 

Climate-proofing programs will accelerate, mitigating climate change’s effects. Nationwide environmental management will intensify, ensuring a safe and clean environment.
