Sea turtles in captivity in bad condition in Kedonganan

Since January we are monitoring a case where sea turtles are being kept in 2 basins in Kedonganan. Today we ran another inspection and the results are not good. Two 5 month old baby Green Turtles are having severe infections likely caused by bad waterflow and cannibalistic Olive Ridley turtles in the same basin. We have sent out a report with an urgent appeal for help to BPSPL Denpasar. Hopefully we can find a solution soon!
