LABUAN BAJO, KOMPAS — Concerns over the preservation of the endangered Komodo dragon in West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), have grown as tourism infrastructure projects continue in the Komodo National Park (KNP) area.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has urged for a temporary postponement of infrastructure development in the KNP until further studies are conducted. The KNP has been on the list of world heritage sites since 1991.
