JAKARTA - The Maluku Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) secured 125 turtle eggs and five eggs of maleo birds in the Pombo Island Nature Park (TWA) area, to protect the protected animals from the threat of natural disturbances and human activities.
"The eggs that were previously located in vulnerable locations along the coast were moved by the TWA Resort officers of Pombo Island to a safer place to ensure that the incubation process can take place well," said the Forestry Police (Polhut) of the Maluku BKSDA, Arga Chrystan, in Ambon, Wednesday, February 11. reported by ANTARA.
The officers then buried the eggs back in the designated location, taking into account the factors of safety and the sustainability of their natural habitat.
Pombo Island Resort staff, Abdullah Marasabessy, explained that this step is part of conservation efforts to maintain the sustainability of protected wildlife populations in the Maluku region.
According to him, the transfer of eggs is not merely a relocation process, but a real commitment in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem in the Pombo Island area.
"Each egg contains hope for a new life. This security is carried out so that it remains protected from natural disturbances and human activities," he said.
Through this activity, the Maluku BKSDA continues to play an active role in ensuring that the turtle and maleo bird generations can grow and develop naturally, so that they continue to fill the living spaces in the conservation area.
This security effort is also part of the ongoing commitment of the Maluku Regional Forestry Agency in supporting the preservation of biodiversity in the Maluku archipelago.
