From dialogue with Key Person (Tokoh Masyarakat) and the
other peoples that participated, they still have spirit to protect WKNP areas. 2.
Amount of personel and huts/houses change fluctuatively depending with
season , in January to Mey will be
more because result of sea abundant ( west season or musim barat) 3.
In east season (June to December), they have not do activities in the sea
because the results is very low. In this condition
they spent their time for still lives at the coast, and among of them
were hunting in the forest. 4.
They do not care with environment healthy, so garbage seem in
every where. 5.
They have made their huts tend like what their want, so look no
