バリ島からあなたへ。
インドネシアの大型連休も終わりやっと通常業務が始まると思っていましたが
今週はお盆（Galungan）のため、またスタッフはお休み
宗教を重んじるインドネシアならではですね。
さて、話は変わりますが

After consulting with local wildlife groups that are in the know, they advised that the Retreat guard the eggs, do not disturb them and once hatched to release them back into the sea. As part of the ongoing green environmental philosophy of W Bali, this exciting initiative goes hand in hand with protecting our flora & fauna.
Turtle Release
W Hotels Worldwide was the first international hotel chain to promote a pet-friendly program. “Pets Are Welcome”, aka the P.A.W. program, allows certain hotels to cater to the pets needs, including treats, a custom W pet bed and pet-walking service. “Though we only allow pets in our public areas, the turtles bring a whole new meaning to pet friendly”, says Craig Seaward, General Manager of W Retreat & Spa Bali – Seminyak. “There has been a strong concerted effort to educate the villagers to protect and conserve these endangered animals. We wanted to do our part to shelter the turtle eggs and play a strong part to help regenerate the population in Indonesia.”

- From the total of 239 hatched turtles, 98 of them hatched on Wednesday 22nd August 2012 and 141 hatched on Sunday 26th of August 2012.
