Over two decades, Segera has transformed its 50,000-acre expanse from degraded cattle ranch to thriving wildlife sanctuary. A testament to the impact of biodiversity restoration, long-term community initiatives, and sustainable conservation efforts, Segera now teems with diverse species and has been reforested with hundreds of thousands of newly planted trees. Segera is a certified Global Ecosphere Retreat®.
As the founding member of The Long Run, Global Ecosphere Retreats® (GER), Segera is deeply committed to environmental stewardship and sustainability to preserve this precious planet for future generations. Segera's 4Cs framework of promoting conservation, community, culture, and commerce is the key guiding principle for protecting its biodiversity, empowering communities, promoting their cultures, and contributing to the overall balance of its ecosystem. Segera's vision for the next 5-10 years is rooted in a commitment to redefine hospitality while significantly contributing to conservation and local culture. They aim to seamlessly blend comfort with authentic cultural and conservation encounters. Through this approach, Segera is positioning itself as a steward of responsible tourism.
