The Kupang team in action, Lasiana Beach |
The next marine mammal stranding
training was conducted in Kupang, 4-5 June 2013, for East Nusa Tenggara. It was
attended by about 25 people, slightly less than Bali participants. However, we received
some important insights from the training.
We didn’t get our HK counterparts
to come to Kupang this time, hence Februanty Purnomo, Sekar Mira and myself
became the full-time mentor. I am pleased to report that we conducted our first
independent training successfully, despite the absence of Grant Abel, Lindsay Porter
and Nimal Fernando (they still helped tho, with online comments). I am also
pleased to report that Sarminto Hadi and Miasto Yudha of KKJI MMAF are now
ready to be mentors for the next trainings. They know the drill already, and
they know what it takes to play the game.
