About Sera
Our Mission
We are committed to protecting and growing our black rhino population while benefiting wildlife and local communities through effective management, habitat expansion, and anti-poaching efforts.
Our 20 Year Vision
By 2035, Sera Wildlife Conservancy will be a model of self-reliance, where wildlife conservation, sustainable resource management, and community development thrive together.
Our Long -Term Vision
The black rhino population at Sera Rhino Sanctuary will reach its maximum capacity, becoming a source for restocking other secure habitats, ensuring the species’ survival for the ages.
Our Programs
Conserving Nature, Empowering Communities. We work hand-in-hand with communities to conserve wildlife, restore rangelands, and nurture sustainable livelihoods that protect our shared future.Wildlife Protection
We safeguard endangered species and their habitats through community-based monitoring, anti-poaching patrols, and awareness programs led by trained local scouts, ensuring that wildlife conservation directly benefits the people who share the land.
Conservancy Governance
We strengthen leadership and accountability through ongoing training in management, finance, and governance. The Leadership and Management program (LAMP) builds the skills and confidence of board and management teams to guide Sera’s long-term success.
Community Livelihoods and Enterprise
Through Ujuzi Manyattani, our community skills development initiative, we empower women, youth, and pastoralists with practical training and opportunities to build self-reliance. These efforts, alongside projects in water, education, health, and tourism, strengthen local enterprises and improve living standards while advancing conservation goals.
Peacebuilding
Sera’s peace program brings together elders, inter-conservancy leaders, women, and youth with county and national authorities to mediate conflict, strengthen relationships, and promote nonviolent solutions for lasting harmony across the region..
Rangeland Management
We restore and sustain degraded rangelands through community-led planning and sustainable grazing practices that balance the needs of livestock, wildlife, and people, protecting the productivity of these lands for posterity.
Carbon Credits
We conserve grasslands and critical habitats through carbon credit initiatives that protect biodiversity, store carbon, and generate revenue for community development and conservation..
The Rhino Sanctuary
Established in 2015, the Sera Rhino Conservancy is Kenya’s first community-owned and run rhino conservancy. We are proud to protect a growing population of both black and white rhinos, living happily in our shared landscape. The Sanctuary is also home to a wide array of other species.
