Global Governance in the Management of Komodo National Park as a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Balancing conservation with sustainable tourism development is crucial for the long-term preservation of Komodo National Park. This study reveals that effective global governance, involving coordination among international organizations like WWF and UNESCO, national authorities, and local communities, can mitigate challenges such as illegal activities and habitat degradation. Advanced technologies, including satellite and drone surveillance, play a pivotal role in monitoring ecosystem health and enforcing conservation measures. The research highlights the importance of integrated approaches, such as zonation strategies and ecotourism training programs for locals, in safeguarding the park's ecological and cultural value while supporting economic growth. Qualitative methods, including literature reviews and document analysis, were employed to assess these governance dynamics.
