Summary
Local communities in Komodo National Park (KNP) express significant concerns about the planned development of premium tourism, including economic competition and environmental degradation risks that could threaten the survival of the endangered Komodo dragon. The study reveals that current development plans lack meaningful community involvement, raising potential conflicts between conservation goals and economic aspirations. Researchers used an ecological political perspective to analyze perceptions, highlighting the need for balanced planning that integrates local stakeholders' voices while safeguarding natural capital in this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
