Hi, my name is Johnny Sudiyanto, I am the owner of Sangalaki Resort in the preservation island run by government called Sangalaki island, where The Island is dedicated to preserve the island most precious animal, baby Turtles, which continuously coming to reproduce eggs and lays it under the sands until it’s hatched. Do not worry, I am here not to disturb what nature has to offer to us. We are here to educate people how important the conservation island is and encouraging people to witness and to appreciate how the nature works and to think about what we can do together to preserve the nature after seeing it. Sangalaki island is located 3 hours by boat from Tarakan island, in north of Borneo or Kalimantan Utara, Indonesia. It’s taking 2 hours and 30 minutes flights from Jakarta, 2 hours 30 minutes from Surabaya and 2 hours and 50 minutes from Bali island. Sangalaki Island has an area covering 15.9 hectares, located in the Derawan Islands, Berau Regency, East Kalimantan. It has a flat coastal plain morphology unit. The island has a shallow lagoon under sand and overgrown with coral and sea grass. The sand beach has a width of 12-15 meters with a slope between 6°-11° with the material making up the beach in the form of coral fragments and the dominant size is coarse sand.
