Head of SKW II BKSDA Pangkalan Bun, Dendi Sutiadi, said the embedding began with the handing over of 59 hatchlings found by tourists at Keraya Beach to the local BKSDA team last weekend.
"With the discovery of the hatchling, SKW II BKSDA Pangkalan Bun has made Keraya Village a turtle-friendly village and will develop semi-natural captivity in the Keraya Beach area," Dendi said at Pangkalan Bun, West Kotawaringin, Central Kalimantan, Friday, February 17, as reported by Antara.
Currently, the 59 hatchlings have been handed over to the Tanjung Keluang Nature Tourism Park (TWA), which is a scaling turtle conservation area in Central Kalimantan.
His party will also continue to increase the capacity of turtle-loving community groups, in addition to temporarily creating a semi-natural location for turtle breeding and breeding in the Keraya Beach area, Keraya Village.
Dendi revealed that the discovery of the 59 hatchlings began with residents traveling on Keraya Beach on Sunday, February 12. Suddenly a number of tourists saw a turtle calf coming out of the sand.
