Gili Air Information |
|||||||||||||||||
|
Gili Air is the nearest Gili to Lombok. It is also the most populated and you will find more trees there than the other Gili's. The original inhabitants are from Southern Sulawesi consisting of three main ethnicities; Mandar, Bugis and Makassar. It is the only island where you can find their unique culture that is different from Lombok and wonderful beaches. Many of the older generation still make their living as boatmen, fisherman and farming coconuts. |

Perama Ofiice (1) ENSURING THE SURVIVAL OF THE ENDANGERED SEA TURTLES |
|
||||||||||||||||
|
|
On the Island of Gili Air, a local dive shop is trying to protect the sea turtle population around Lombok. They have four pens dedicated to reintroduce and conserve Hawk’s Bill and Green turtles. Turtle eggs are saved from human consumption and replanted in the ground for a period of about two months. After hatching, the turtles crawl to the surface and placed into holding pens. At birth they are no larger than a matchbox! It is also difficult to determine their actual species. |

The turtles are kept for roughly seven months living on a protein diet of chopped fish. The pens they live in have their water changed twice daily, this keeps their environment clean and helps prevent viral and bacterial problems. If a problem does occur the sick turtle is isolated straight away to prevent cross contamination. The turtles need to be kept for this length of time as this affords them the greatest chance of survival. They are already the size that enables |

them to sleep under the water surface, lodged in amongst the coral fissures. Thus minimizing their loss from predation. At birth, in the natural world, a turtle has less than 0.1% chance of survival from the project, located at Reef seekers, Gili Air, it is estimated that the released turtles have up to a 30% survival rate. To date more than 500 turtles have been released in the two years of operation of the well controlled turtle facility.
