Bambang M., The Jakarta Post, Yogyakarta
The name of environmental crusader Rosek Nursahid is heard almost every time 
people discuss wildlife protection in Indonesia.
Rosek is the founder and director of ProFauna, a non-governmental 
organization dedicated to wildlife protection. Through this organization he has tried to 
lift the veil on the illegal trade in protected species in Indonesia, having 
realized that it poses a serious threat to Indonesia's wildlife sustainability. 
One of the organization's activities was an investigation into the trading of 
turtles on Bali between 1999 and 2001. 
Rosek said that during the investigation, it was discovered that the number 
of turtles killed in Bali was the world's greatest. Consequently, ProFauna 
started to campaign against the illegal trade in turtles.
