Another marine mammal stranded on Bali.

Just after receiving the news of a code 2 Dugong stranded in Gondol, Buleleng last weekend and a code 2 spotted Dolphin stranded on Mengiat beach on May 9, we received the news that yet another Dolphin (code 3) stranded on Pantai Saba through the Whale Stranding Network (Pak Rodo, BPSPL). The Dolphin is likely to be a stenella Dolphin.

It is suspected that the Dolphin has been entangled in fishing nets, seen the fact there were fishing nets at the mouth of the Dolphin. Another huge warning for ghost nets floating around in the ocean.

A necropsy was not possible due the status of the corpse. It has been buried onsite.

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.
