Abstract

The designation of Komodo National Park as one of the New 7 Wonders in 2012 sparked increased tourism, resulting in growth in Labuan Bajo's hospitality sector, with low entry fees and stakeholders advocating for Komodo dragon conservation. Determining an appropriate entrance fee is crucial for park maintenance and Komodo dragon conservation. This study aims to analyze tourism trends, willingness to pay (WTP) for entrance fees, and willingness to contribute (WTC) to conservation funds. The analysis reveals a consistent rise in visitor numbers from 2015 to 2019, along with significant growth in non-tax revenue, hotel accommodation, and bed capacity from 2010 to 2019. Tourists exhibit strong support for Komodo conservation with a notable USD 25.573 in WTP for domestic visitors and 39.4 for foreign tourists. Respondents express readiness to contribute to conservation funds. Government agencies, local communities, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are favored to manage the conservation fund. The preservation of Komodo dragons has a positive impact on ecosystem balance and economic improvement from tourism.

Abstract

One of the conservation efforts for the Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is the translocation of the Komodo. Six juvenile captive-bred Komodo Dragons were translocated from Bogor to Wae Wuul Nature Reserve, East Nusa Tenggara Province, on 23rd September 2023. This research aims to calculate and describe home ranges total daily movements and the habitat conditions of Komodo Dragons. The research was carried out at the Wae Wuul Nature Reserve using the radio tracking method for 11 days, as most of the translocated Komodo Dragons could only survive in the short term. Results showed that translocated Komodo Dragons tend to stay near the initial release location. The average total daily movement translocated Komodo Dragons was 424.53 m day–1 with an average home range of 34.11 ha and an average core area of 8.20 ha. The habitats used by Komodo Dragons are savanna and monsoon forests dominated by bushes and trees. The presence of feral dogs and vehicle road access have the potential to pose a threat to the translocated Komodo Dragons.

Abstract

Status Gekko gecko yang rencananya akan diusulkan kenaikannya dari non-Apendiks menjadi Apendiks II CITES akibat maraknya perburuan tokek di masyarakat, menyebabkan jumlah tokek di alam bebas semakin berkurang. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian mengenai populasi tokek rumah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kerapatan populasi tokek rumah khususnya di Kelurahan Nangameting dan Kelurahan Waioti, Kecamatan Alok Timur, Kabupaten Sikka, Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur dengan menggunakan metode wawancara dan pengamatan langsung. Luas area penelitian 23,11 ha dengan jumlah sampel sebanyaak 211 rumah dan 39 orang responden. Hasil penelitian dan analisis melalui wawancara dan pengamatan langsung secara berturut-turut menunjukkan terdapat 63 individu tokek di Kelurahan Nangameting (kepadatan rata-rata populasi nya sebanyak 7,03 individu/ha) dan 18 individu tokek di Kelurahan Waioti (2 individu/ha). Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan ekstrapolasi, populasi tokek rumah di Kecamatan Alok Timur adalah 11.024,96 individu. Data ini diharapkan menjadi dasar dalam upaya pengelolaan/pengendalian peredaran dan perdagangan satwa liar khususnya tokek rumah di wilayah Flores, Indonesia.
