Mandai Nature supports KSP’s work to protect the Komodo Dragons in Flores. KSP adopts a multi-pronged approach – in strong collaboration with the government and local community – by integrating efforts around population monitoring, patrolling and protection of habitats, capacity building, community outreach and law enforcement.
Coupled with the introduction of alternative livelihood and mitigation measures for human-wildlife conflict, local communities’ perception of the Komodo Dragons has shown an increase in overall positive attitudes towards the species.
There are currently three Komodo Dragons in Singapore Zoo which includes the first Komodo Dragon to successfully hatch in Asia, outside of Indonesia. Singapore Zoo is proud to contribute to the ex situ conservation of the species as a member of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) Komodo Dragon European Endangered Species Programme (EEP).
Komodo Survival Programme (KSP) is an Indonesian-based non-profit organisation established in 2007. KSP’s mission is to provide sound information on wildlife biology to help devise management and conservation plans for the Komodo Dragon and its natural habitat.
KSP also develops research on the biology, ecology, and conservation status of the Komodo Dragon, its natural habitat and the biodiversity in the species’ range, and supports the involvement of local communities in wildlife protection and monitoring activities through sustainable development projects.
