Green turtle with tumors and Olive Ridley turtle washed up dead.

On July 24 we visited the Turtle Center in Serangan, TCEC, after a report that a Green Turtle was brought in from the Gili islands with tumors on both eyes (see photo). Upon talking with Pak Made we can confirm that the turtle will receive surgery, but that it will be very hard to be able to release the turtle back into the wild, as it will not have eye sight.



The same day we received a report of an 69 cm female Olive Ridley Turtle that washed up ashore dead in Perancak. According to Pak Anom of the local turtle center there is a big chance the death of this turtle is trash related.

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.
