Fishermen from the small whaling village of Lamalera, on a sunbaked island in remote eastern #Indonesia, have been hunting whales for centuries. They still do, now with permission from the Indonesian government — as long as it’s for their own consumption. They may also hunt dolphins — like the one Kemal Jufri photographed here — and mantas for their own use. But as the government cuts down on illegal fishing in the Savu Sea, conservationists want a strict regulation of these practices. “This is not basic needs,” said Glaudy Perdanahardja, an official with @nature_org. He suggested that islanders were no longer hunting merely for subsistence, but also for commercial purposes. Lamalerans, though, bristle at efforts to regulate their fishing practices. “The sea is our mother,” said Aloisius Gnneser Tapoona, a grizzled harpooner who said he had killed around 80 sperm whales in 4 decades of hunting. The village’s hard and rocky soil makes growing crops impossible, so villagers have no choice, he said. Still, there are signs that the fishermen are trafficking in wildlife parts.
