Filming Without Permit in Protected Sand Dunes, Katy Perry Investigated
HOLIDAY NEWS - Katy Perry released the video clip of her latest single, 'Lifetimes', last week. Not long after it was broadcast, the video was already experiencing problems.
The Spanish government is reportedly investigating Katy Perry regarding the music video which has been watched 2.3 million times on YouTube. This 39 year old singer is suspected of taking a filming location in a prohibited place without permission. In the video, Katy Perry appears to be enjoying her time on the Balearic Islands, Spain, Mediterranean. However, there are several parts of the video where the images were taken in protected natural areas.

The scene in question is when actor Orlando Bloom's girlfriend is seen jumping and running across the sand dunes in the Salines Natural Park, a protected area of S'Espalmador on the islands of Ibiza and Formentera.
S'Espalmador is one of the most ecologically valuable sites on the island. The 1.8-mile stretch of S'Espalmador has been part of the Ses Salines de Ibiza and Formentera natural park since 1980.

The production company behind the video, WeOwnTheCity, did not have permission to film at the location, the Balearic Islands environment department claimed.
The environmental department is also investigating potential damage to the dunes. Neither WeOwnTheCity nor Katy Perry have responded to this case.
Syuting Tanpa Izin di Bukit Pasir yang Dilindungi, Katy Perry Diinvestigasi
HOLIDAY NEWS -
Katy Perry merilis video klip dari single terbarunya, 'Lifetimes', pekan lalu. Belum lama tayang, video tersebut sudah tersandung masalah.
Pemerintah Spanyol dikabarkan sedang menginvestigasi Katy Perry terkait video musik yang sudah ditonton 2,3 juta kali di YouTube itu. Penyanyi 39 tahun ini diduga mengambil lokasi syuting di tempat terlarang tanpa izin.
Dalam video tersebut, Katy Perry tampak menikmati waktunya di Pulau Balearic, Spanyol, Mediterania. Namun ada beberapa bagian dari video tersebut yang gambarnya diambil di wilayah alami yang dilindungi.

Adegan yang dipermasalahkan adalah ketika kekasih aktor Orlando Bloom ini tampak melompat dan berlarian melintasi bukit pasir di Taman Alam Salines, kawasan lindung S'Espalmador di kepulauan Ibiza dan Formentera.
S'Espalmador merupakan salah satu situs paling bernilai ekologis di pulau itu. Bentangan S'Espalmador sepanjang 1,8 mil telah menjadi bagian dari taman alam Ses Salines de Ibiza dan Formentera sejak tahun 1980.

Perusahaan produksi di balik video tersebut, WeOwnTheCity, tidak mengantongi izin untuk syuting di lokasi tersebut, klaim departemen lingkungan hidup Kepulauan Balearic.
Departemen lingkungnan hidup pun sedang menyelidiki potensi kerusakan di bukit pasir tersebut. Baik pihak WeOwnTheCity maupun Katy Perry belum menanggapi kasus ini.
