Component 1: Improved private sector, community engagement and diversified financing for biodiversity conservation and livelihood improvement across the Komodo dragon and threatened species landscape-seascape

Contribute:

'SDG 15.5'

This indicator is On Track

Monitoring of the Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) population conducted by the Komodo National Park (KNP) Authority from March to October 2024 recorded an estimated total of 3,270 ± 371 individuals, demonstrating continued progress towards the goal of maintaining a stable and viable Komodo dragon population within protected areas.

The population distribution across the islands is as follows:

  • Komodo Island: 1,619 individualsRinca Island: 1,472 individualsGili Motang: 74 individualsNusa Kode: 77 individualsPadar Island: 28 individuals
  • In the northern landscape–seascape, monitoring conducted by the East Nusa Tenggara Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BBKSDA NTT) from 5 to 15 July 2024 shows similar progress, as detailed below:Wae Wuul Nature Reserve: 31 individuals, indicating a population increase from 29 individuals in 2017. This growth, although modest, reflects stable habitat conditions and sustained conservation measures.Tujuh Belas Pulau Marine Tourism Park: 9,74±3.69 (95% CI= 4,3-20,48).

This indicates a positive population trend over the past seven years, with the 2024 estimate showing an overall increase within Komodo National Park and Wae Wuul Nature Reserve.

These results highlight the effectiveness of ongoing protection and monitoring efforts under the Komodo Dragon Species Conservation Action Plan (SRAK Komodo).

These findings support the achievement of Komodo dragon conservation targets across both core and buffer zones, contributing to national biodiversity goals and reinforcing adaptive management across protected and OECM-eligible areas.

Yellow-Crested Cockatoo Population

Monitoring conducted in 2024 by Komodo National Park recorded a total of 983 Komodo dragons within the park, reflecting an increase from 931 individuals in 2023. The highest population densities were observed in Poreng (224 individuals) and Banu Nggulung (218 individuals), with the overall distribution spanning Komodo Island, Rinca Island, and Bero. The 2018–2024 population trend graph indicates long-term stability, characterised by natural fluctuations and no significant declines. These findings suggest that the habitat’s carrying capacity remains healthy and that conservation interventions supported by the project are contributing effectively to the species’ protection.

Additional Monitoring and Biodiversity Inventories. Additionally, the project also carried out inventories of endemic birds and key ecosystem indicators—such as the Flores hawk-eagle, Flores monarch, parrots, and giant rats—as part of efforts to maintain overall ecosystem integrity.
