Richard O’Barry Instagram – Exploring the Edge: Contemplating new ideas and pushing the limits of what a proper dolphin sanctuary (in the right location), could become. There are several whale and dolphin sanctuaries on the drawing boards, but there is one dolphin sanctuary already in operation and exploring new ideas. Dolphin Rambo chose Umah Lumba as his go-to dolphin sanctuary. HE made that choice himself. Rambo still lives around here somewhere, actually everywhere around here. Rent free too. Pretty good deal. Rambo comes and goes as he pleases through the open gate. He forages for his own fish, the special ones HE chooses. He does this both inside and outside the floating seapen. Then he might swim to the next bay which is about 14 kilometers away and take a nap, but he always returns. Someday Rambo may meet someone and decide to leave and swim away from this island like Rocky did. And that’s okay. Freedom is about choices and decisions. We could have done the same thing in Norway with Beluga Hvaldimir, but not without the co-operation of the national government. #dolphinproject #bksdabali #jakartaanimalaidnetwork #theexplorersclub | Posted on 20/May/2023 20:06:14
