Abstract

The problems of conservation of the Komodo monitor (Varanus komodoensis) were examined in Kampung Komodo (Komodo Village). The tourism has changed the economic structure of the district since 1990s, however the new policy did not cause the wealth of the villagers. The coexistence of the Komodo monitors and the residents of the Islands have been traditionally established in spite of some victims of the human and livestock. Certainly the dangerous Komodo monitors has disturbed and is disturbing the safety life of the humans, however, the construction plans such as high-floored house and the traditional lifestyles like fishery have maintained harmonious relationships between the village people and the monitors. As the latest conservation and tourism policies have partially shifted the works of the villagers from fishery to souvenir sales, however the village people and local societies have not become rich. The excessive development of the tourism about the Komodo monitors should be noticed in the future.
