36 green turtles were confiscated on on the 11th of July on the beach of Serangan. The turtles are still alive and will be released to their natural habit soon. A wooden boat was unloaded in the night and caught the attention of the police. The captain Muhalim and 6 crew members were arrested. The perpetrators claimed to have captured those green turtles from the sea waters of Kerajakan. The plan was to hand over the turtles to a man named Muhayat who lives in Serangan. This deed violates the law concerning conservation of biological natural resources and their ecosystems. Green turtles are considered as protected animals.

The Stop Orphanages Campaign is an initiative spearheaded by Westerlaken Foundation and Yayasan Bali Bersih. Its primary objective is to combat the exploitation of children and the use of orphanages as a means of personal gain, and children as a marketing tool. While we acknowledge that there are Child Welfare Institutions (LKSA) in Indonesia that genuinely prioritize the well-being of children, extensive research reveals that a majority of orphanages in Bali, Indonesia operate in violation of the National Standard for Child Welfare Institutions (30/HUK/2011). This standard explicitly prohibits the institutionalization of children based on poverty or limited access to education, as well as emphasizes the importance of empowering families and preventing the recruitment of children into orphanages.
