In partnership with Mother Nature

Another international recognition given to Sta. Elena affirmed its special place among an elite group of properties worldwide. Certified as a Cooperative Sanctuary by Audubon International, a society devoted to the conservation of the environment, Sta. Elena passed a strict qualification process judged on the following areas: environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, outreach and conservation, water quality management and chemical use reduction.

This much-deserved citation is a product of over 10 years of reforestation that transformed a once sugarcane plantation into a nature haven.

Today, it has become a sanctuary for a wide variety of birds, whose distinct squawks, warbles, chirps and whistles provide a musical backdrop to this most wonderful piece of paradise.
