The four Javanese Landaks that are kept by the defendant I Nyoman Sukena (38) will be rehabilitated and observed before being released into the wild.

Head of the Conservation Section Region I of the Bali Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) Sumarsono said rehabilitation would be carried out for the four hedgehogs and also trained to find their own graves before being released into the wild.

"Rehabilitated first, taught to find food on their own. Trained or honed again with wild nature. If it is immediately released without being equipped with the ability to survive or survive, it is the same as killing or torturing animals," said Sumarsono, Friday, September 13.

It took up to be honed back to wild nature for one month to 12 months. After rehabilitation, the Javanese hedgehog will be released into the conservation forest.

"Usually we release in protected forests or conservation forests, the important thing is that forests belong to the state and are not too close to community land," he explained.
