Guided by the Sustainable Wildlife Management philosophy, a portion of communal rangelands are designated cattle-free zones to support wildlife recovery for community based wildlife tourism and community-led tourism. In Habu, over 15 wildlife scouts are employed to work with partners such as the Community Development Trust, National Environment Fund and Department of Environmental Affairs. Grants are used to develop roads, camp sites and wildlife water holes in the village wildlife area. 

Currently areas are patrolled by trained Community Scouts and the Botswana Defence Force is engaged to safeguard the wildlife while tourism initiatives are being developed
