Threats to Komodo Dragon Populations

Illegal poaching for their skin and body parts poses a significant threat to Komodo dragons, leading to a decline in their population.

Loss of habitat due to human activities such as deforestation and development further endangers the survival of Komodo dragons in the wild.

Invasive species introduced to the Komodo dragon's habitat disrupt the ecosystem balance, impacting their food sources and overall well-being.

Climate change affects the nesting sites of Komodo dragons, leading to reduced hatching success rates and impacting the population growth.

Tourism can have negative impacts on Komodo dragon populations through habitat disturbance, pollution, and potential spread of diseases.

Conservation efforts are crucial to protect Komodo dragons from these threats and ensure their long-term survival in their natural habitats.
