Wildlife conservation? The case of turtles in Kedongonan..

A concerned student notified us about turtles being kept in a restaurant in Kedongonan. We investigated the case and found 4 seaturtles and a number of baby sea turtles in a small confinement. It turned out the turtles are in ‘custody’ of the next door governmental BPKP2K. They confirmed that the turtles were taken from the beach to show to anyone who wants to see them.



There is no planning of release. We condemn any form of captivity and there is NO excuse to take healthy turtles from there habitat for the sake of human pleasure or to keep baby turtles in confinement and not release them. Socialization is planned in cooperation with WWF Indonesia , but we keep monitoring this case till those poor animals are free!

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.
