Turtle news

Yesterday we got notified by TCEC Serangan about two turtles.


One green turtle (40x38 cm) was found on Pantai Kelan by surveying army personnel and brought to TCEC in a weak condition. Unfortunately the turtle died later that day.

A fisherman also brought in a Olive Ridley turtle (60x62 cm) to TCEC with a broken shield. The turtle remains under observation with TCEC and BPSPL fast response team.


Bali’s beaches are currently closed, which has pro’s and con’s for the turtles. They can lay eggs (or eggs can hatch) without stress caused by human interaction, but stranded turtles, dolphins and whales in need can go unnoticed as well.

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.
