Experience on turtle season at turtle conservation

A late night in the middle of the desert on the coast of southern Bali. Among them, the beaches of Kuta, Serangan, Seminyak, Sanur, are the destination areas for turtles laying eggs. Many of the beaches are tourist destinations with lots of tourists doing their activities there at dusk the beach is decorated with garden lights from the hotel. In some areas it is still dark and quiet to be an ideal area. With the crowded beaches and full of lights, there are several types of turtles living on the beach. In Bali, sea turtles with tourist beach conditions can still be visited and lay eggs. Provide experience for the team and fellow volunteers who are apprentices to learn and get to know turtles on the nesting beach in Bali from 6 types of turtles, 3 of which can still be found on the coast of Bali including the Oliveridley turtle, hawksbill turtle and green turtle. And become the dominant area for the turtle laying eggs on the coast of the Bali Region. Crowded beach conditions make activities to move turtle eggs from the nesting beach to the conservation area to be incubated with the aim of avoiding being trampled on by turtle nests or being eaten by stray dogs. In the turtle breeding area, it is incubated in a semi-natural system in which turtle eggs are still incubated in sand media. and relying on the temperature from sunlight with a duration of 45 to 60 days the turtle will usually hatch by itself to the surface of the sand and assisted by staff in the turtle rooting area to be moved to a care pond. In the treatment period for 1 to 2 weeks, the turtles will be given attention by maintaining the cleanliness of the water and providing fresh fish feed. When the turtle is 1 week old, it is prepared to be released on the beach, the atmosphere of the release will be combined with providing information about preserving turtles and nature for regeneration, with the hope that in the future it will increase awareness of young generations about nature conservation and the balance of nature which is often made into local wisdom by Balinese people in general are called Tri Hitakarana which has meaning for Balinese people, the relationship that causes the balance of the universe is widely known as the relationship between humans and God and the relationship between humans and humans and the relationship between humans and nature. The local wisdom of the local Balinese community has been known from generation to generation by recognizing the many ceremonies and commemorations as a form of appreciation for the Balinese people towards life and a sense of responsibility towards nature. The turtle Conservation in Serangan combines local wisdom with conservation activities and provides education about the importance of turtle conservation and protecting nature. In educating the young generation, they often get students from turtle captivity as apprentices to get to know turtles in conservation and see turtles in the nesting area. Egg-laying turtles in Bali can be found from April to September. Which are spread in the Bali area in general with the return of female turtles from a long migration process to the place or beach where they used to drop.
