Why do Komodo Dragons Need to be Protected?

​Komodo dragons, which are the largest living species of lizard, are found only on the Indonesian islands of Komodo and Rinca Islands. These animals are considered to be endangered, and they are protected by law in Indonesia.
There are a few reasons why it is important to protect and preserve the Komodo dragons:
  • They are a unique and valuable part of the planet's biodiversity: Komodo dragons are the top predator on their island home and play a vital role in the local ecosystem. Losing these animals would have significant impacts on the balance of the ecosystem.
  • They are a valuable tourism resource: The Komodo dragons are a major attraction for tourists visiting Indonesia, and tourism is an important source of income for the local communities. Preserving the dragons and their habitat can help to support the local economy.
  • They are a scientific resource: Studying the Komodo dragons can provide valuable insights into the evolution and behavior of reptiles, as well as the impacts of human activities on the environment.
  • They are a cultural resource: The Komodo dragons are an important part of the cultural heritage of the local communities on the Indonesian islands where they are found. Preserving the dragons can help to preserve the cultural traditions and values of these communities.
