Komodo National Park

Komodo National Park

Komodo National Park is located in the Island of Sumbawaand Flores. Komodo National Park was established in 1980; initially the main purpose of the Park was to conserve the unique Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) and its habitat. However, Park was declared a World Heritage Site and a Man and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, both indications of the Park’s biological importance.

Now, PKA Balai Taman Nasional Komodo and PT. Putri Naga Komodo both are working together to protect the Park’s vast resources. Their goals is to protect the Park’s biodiversity and the breeding stocks of commercial fishes for replacement of surrounding fishing grounds.
