JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Komodo Island is part of the Komodo National Park area that was declared by UNESCO in 1986 as a World Heritage site.

The decision to make it an exclusive tourist destination is expected to be able to protect and maintain the environment and the habitat of the Komodo dragon on the island.
