INDONESIA, RBTVDISWAY.ID - A National Park is an area designated for the protection of natural areas and scenic beauty, and has value for scientific, educational, and recreational purposes.

Komodo National Park was designated as one of Indonesia's National Parks on March 6, 1980.

Komodo National Park is a conservation area dedicated to protecting the Komodo dragon (Varanus koomodoensis) and its habitat. Komodo National Park is not only a conservation area, but also serves as an ecotourism destination.

Komodo Island itself is home to the largest population of Komodo dragons, with approximately 2,500.

Komodo dragons are the largest lizards in the world, averaging 2-3 meters in length.

They weigh around 70 kg or more. Komodo dragons are on the Red List of endangered species. Therefore, the Indonesian government decided to make the Komodo dragon's habitat a national park to conserve them.

This National Park, which covers an area of approximately 2,000 km2, offers a wealth of charms that will captivate tourists and make them want to return again.

Travelers should visit this place at least once in their lives. While you can usually only see Komodo dragons through photos or videos, now is the time to experience this natural wonder in person.

However, tourists can only see Komodo dragons from a distance of 300 meters, as they are wild animals. Furthermore, their saliva is poisonous. But don't worry, visitors to Komodo Island will receive direct guidance from trained rangers who act as tour guides.

Besides Komodo dragons, Komodo National Park is also home to a variety of other fauna, such as water buffalo, horses, and Timor deer. There are also reptile species like 12 snake species and 9 lizard species.

These are just the terrestrial fauna, not to mention the aquatic fauna of Komodo National Park, which is home to approximately 1,000 fish species, 10 dolphin species, 7 whale species, and even green turtles.
