ʻO ka kaiaola kaiaola ʻo Luangwa ka home o kahi kokoke i ʻelua hapakolu o ka heluna ʻelepani o Zambia. Ma mua, ua hiki i ka heluna o nā elepani ma Zambia i 250 tausani mau kānaka. Akā mai ka makahiki 1950, ma muli o ka ʻai ʻana, ua emi nui ka nui o nā elepani ma ka ʻāina. I nā makahiki 1980, he 18 wale nō elepani i koe ma Zambia. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka hui pū ʻana o nā mea hana pono holoholona a me nā kaiāulu kūloko i hoʻopau i kēia ʻano. I ka makahiki 2018, ʻaʻohe hihia o ka elephant poaching ma North Luangwa National Park, a ma nā wahi kokoke, ua emi ka nui o nā hihia o ka poaching ma mua o ka hapalua.
ʻO ka Northern Luangwa Conservation Program, i hoʻomohala pū ʻia me ka Frankfurt Zoological Society, i kōkua i ka loaʻa ʻana o ia mau hopena. Ke hilinaʻi nei kēia papahana i ke kōkua o nā kaiāulu kūloko e kōkua i ke kaua ʻana i ka poaching.

Ma mua, ua liʻiliʻi ka loaʻa kālā o nā kaiāulu kūloko mai ka mākaʻikaʻi mai, a i kekahi mau hihia, ʻo ka poʻe kamaʻāina ponoʻī i hana i ka hopu ʻana i nā elepani a ʻaʻohe o lākou manaʻo e hoʻōki i kēia hana.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sayer, ua hana pū ka hui me ke aupuni kūloko e hoʻokō i kahi kulekele hoʻokaʻawale kālā. Ua hōʻike pū ʻia ka poʻe i nā ʻano kālā like ʻole no ka ʻai ʻana, e like me ke kūkulu ʻana i ka ululāʻau. "Inā makemake maoli mākou e pale i kēia ʻāina, pono mākou e hōʻoia i ke komo piha ʻana o ke kaiāulu, e pili ana i ka hāʻawi kālā ʻana," wahi a Sayer.
