This creature only can be found walking and running in the wild nature only in Komodo Island, a small island that becomes a part of Indonesian archipelago. Since this creature is considered endangered species and lives under Indonesian government’s law, Komodo National Park is established and has become the last sanctuary where Komodo can live and grow freely, save from the human’s threat.

The Komodo National Park consists of three large islands, including Komodo, Padar, and Rincah. Along with 26 other small islands, the total area of these archipelagos is 1,733 km2. This national park was founded in 1980 with an intention to protect the population of Komodo dragons. Yet, later as the time passes by, the marine faunas living in this area also are protected.  In 1991, this national park was declared by UNESCO as one of the World Heritage Sites.

Komodo National Park is the place where you can see the magnanimous scenery and amazing creature. Since, Komodo is considered endangered species, it is highly important if together we maintain and keep this place as natural as possible, for the sake of their existence.
