In cooperation with BPSPL, the Indonesian Coastal and Marine Resource Management Center, we have received a sample of the Kogia sima that was brutally slaughtered at Pantai Lembeng, Ketewel.

This sample has been tested over the last week by Bionesia. Yesterday we have received the test results, attached to this post, confirming that indeed this whale was a Kogia sima.

More news about our further actions on this case, in cooperation with POLDA and BKSDA, will follow soon.
