SUMMARY:Bali Dogs Conservation Experience
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the history of the Bali Dogs and experience first-hand encounter with this ancient dog breed while helping the rehabilitation process of these beautiful souls at a rescue facility. \nAnyone who has been to Bali must have seen local dogs running around in the village and on the streets. Bali dogs have been roaming the island for centuries. This indigenous breed is known to be a tough breed\, able to survive the harshest conditions on the street without the veterinarian care required by western breeds. A university in the USA tested blood samples taken from Bali dogs and the result said that it is the oldest dog breed known to man. Although the Bali dog breed looks similar to the Australian dingo\, its DNA is a mixture of Dingo\, Chow-Chow from the northern China and Akita\, a very loyal dog breed that lives in the mountains of Japan. People that keep Bali dogs as pets say that they are very good guard dogs. If not adopted from puppy\, may take a while to warm up to human’s touch but once they are close to someone or a family\, the loyalty to their human(s) is second to none. \nUnfortunately\, this indigenous breed is misunderstood and under-valued in their own island as most people are not aware of the Bali dog’s history. In 2004\, the provincial government allowed imported dog breeds to enter Bali (this was previously prohibited by law). While this brought joy to those who moved to live in Bali bringing along their imported breed pets\, this has decreased the popularity of Bali dogs quite substantially. They are regarded as street dogs of less value. Many are abandoned as people prefer buying imported breed puppies for prestige. The existence of pure breed Bali dogs is now threatened by crossbreeding\, not to mention mass culling and the horrible dog meat trade. \nA few rescue centers were founded to fight for the Bali dogs’ welfare and existence. These facilities take-in abandoned dogs from the streets prioritizing those with critical conditions or injuries. The rescued dogs then go through a rehabilitation process where medical attention and daily care are provided through sponsorships and volunteer works. Dogs with traumatic experience are gradually re-introduced to contacts with humans. They can use as many hugs and touches from different people to establish or restore the trust in human they once lost. It is always so touching and relieving to see how dogs with even the worst trauma can warm up to the tenderness\, love and care from the keepers and volunteers as if they are saying ‘thank you’ or ‘I forgive you human’. This process is very important as it will make them adoptable and find their forever home. \nBe a part of this process to give Bali Dogs a second chance to live and to have families that love them.

SUMMARY:Farm the Future: Bali Greenhouse Experience
DESCRIPTION:A different experience of Kintamani trip that provides an insight into the art of greenhouse farming at an international standard greenhouse facility set out on Bali’s highland. \nStep into the world of a greenhouse farmer in Bali. Bali Fresh Farm (PT.DIF) grows a variety of paprika in their wonderful greenhouse facility. Contrary to general knowledge which limits understanding of paprika as bell pepper or capsicum we usually find in salads or Asian stir-fry\, a visit to this greenhouse facility opens the window of knowledge into the vast variety of pepper family. Different shapes from the commonly found bell pepper\, the extra-large chili shape ‘sweet point’ and the short plump ‘sweet bite’ to name a few. They come in many colors (aside from the usual green\, red and yellow) such as orange\, aubergine-purple to dark chocolate and even the rare white that we have never seen. These array of peppers present different taste too\, some are sweeter than others but some can be really hot like the small chili ! \nThere are several large greenhouse domes here\, the largest was about 1\,700 square meter and 7-meter high\, each is carefully designed and operated to provide a perfect environment for every phase of the plant growth from seeds to harvest. Inside\, an impressive view of thousands of paprika plants arranged in straight lines with implanted watering system and updated hanging record-tags tells us that proper farming operation is actually a form of science. \nBali Fresh Farm is also proud to be a part of the local community. This almost 9\,000-square meter farm has a team of female-farmers recruited from nearby villages. They are empowered with knowledge and skills required to produce high quality product fit for European standards. Neighboring local farmers benefit from the fertilized soil of the greenhouse brought to them after harvest time in the greenhouse domes. \nParticipating in this program will provide you with a different perspective towards farming\, and an amazing experience of harvesting perfect paprika fruits in an ideal greenhouse environment.

SUMMARY:Bali Starling & West Bali National Park Experience
DESCRIPTION:Watch Bali Starlings’ behavior in their natural habitat and experience the sight & sound of West Bali National Park as well as the wildlife that lives in it. \nThis program takes place in West Bali National Park\, the natural habitat of Bali Starling (Leucopsar rothschildi). It is a vast protected conservation area consisting of lowland forest\, savannah\, mountainous Prapat Agung peninsula\, mangroves and surrounding coastal waters. Here we will be able to observe its natural behavior and how this critically endangered bird species interact in colony. In 2012\, a study calculated that there were only a concerning number of 24 adult birds left in this protected area. Various measures were done by Bali government working together with various conservation organizations to increase the population of Bali Starling in their natural habitat. A more recent study conducted in 2020 counted an increased number of 355 adult birds sighted here. \nApart from the famous Bali Starling\, West Bali Natural Park is also home to javan deer (Rusa timorensis)\, southern red muntjac / barking deer (Muntiacus muntjak)\, leopard cat\, wild bull / banteng (Bos javanicus)\, grey macaque (Macaca fascicularis)\, javan banded pitta (Hydrornis guajanus)\, black-naped oriole (Oriolus chinensis)\, numerous sea birds and many more. \nWest Bali Natural Park is located in the Buleleng regency. It occupies over 19\,000 hectares at the north-westerly point of Bali island. The closest tourist area is Sanur which is around 4-hour drive. There are quite a number of hotels around the national park. Staying at one of these nearby hotels a night prior to the program day is highly advisable as it would allow enough time to rest prior to spending the day at the national park which will require a lot of walking. It is a long way but definitely worth exploring.
