The Richness of the WWF Reserve in Our Territory
Terre di Sacra is nestled in a unique territory that best represents the fusion of the wild beauty of the WWF Oasis, careful land use for stays and vacations, and the lush eco-sustainable production of our organic farm.
At the heart of the WWF ecosystem is Lake Burano. This lake is an extraordinary environment and an authentic sanctuary of biodiversity, where nature expresses itself in its utmost beauty.
The WWF Oasis of Lake Burano is the first WWF natural reserve established in Italy in 1968 and is home to rich local flora and fauna. In the evergreen Mediterranean forest, rich in junipers, cork oaks, holm oaks, but also myrtle, phillyrea, mastic, rosemary (with over 500 plant species), every moment is an opportunity for wonder. Here, over 300 bird species, including coots, common pochards, tufted ducks, marsh harriers, and water rails, make every day a unique experience. Among the mammals living in the oasis, you will be surprised to find hedgehogs, badgers, foxes, weasels, wild boars, and even wolves, which use the reserve for their migrations.
You can explore the equipped nature trail, winding along the dune overlooking the lake, with 7 observation points consisting of six huts and a lookout tower. At the Visitor Center, a small nature trail (500 m) will lead you to a corner dedicated to butterflies.
With Terre di Sacra, your stay in an area protected by the WWF will not only be a vacation but also a deep connection with nature.
