2 INTRODUCTION

3 Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) Largest monitor lizard Endemic only in Indonesia Flagship species Top predator in their habitat (Auffenberg 1981; Indrawan et al. 2007; Jessop dkk. 2007)

4 Distribution and Population Population in Komodo National Park (KNP) 2448 ± 229 ind Grey Area = Current distribution Black Area= Extinct (Purwandana et al 2014; Ciofi & de Boer 2004: 100)

5 People has been living with komodo dragons for hundreds of years Even though both parties coexist Humans presence in komodo dragons habitat Increased competition for space and resources Human-Komodo Dragon Conflict (Auffenberg 1981: ; Endo 2013: 31)

6 Human-Komodo Dragon Conflict, How Urgent? 1. No study about human-komodo dragon conflict 2. Attacks on human were well documented but livestock predations were poorly documented 3. No conflict mitigation and prevention strategies have been conducted yet

7 1. Understand humankomodo dragon conflict in Komodo Village, KNP Aims of Study 2. Formulate conflict mitigation and prevention strategies

8 METHODS

9 Time and Location Time : March 2014 Location : Komodo Village, Komodo National Park

10 Methods respondents were interviewed 2 3 Human-komodo dragon conflicts reported by respondents were recorded Coordinate of conflict locations were recorded and visualized

11 Results and Discussions

12 A. Human-Komodo Dragon Conflict (Livestock Predation) 50 respondents (33.3%) reported livestock predations by komodo dragons Number of Livestock Loss Goats Chickens

13 Percentage (%) Percentage (%) A. Livestock Predation Percent of Attacks by Season Dry All-year Wet NA Season Percent of Attacks by Time Morning Morning-Noon Noon Noon-Afternoon Afternoon NA Time

14 Percentage (%) A. Livestock Predation Percent of Attacks by Habitat Village Plantation Forest Savannah Habitat Type 0.25

15 No of Attacks No of Attacks A. Livestock Predation Comparison of attacks by komodo dragon and wild pig reported by respondents Attacks by Komodo Dragon Attacks by Wild Pig (Sus scrofa) Goats Chickens Goats Chickens Types of Livestock Type of Livestock

16 B. Conflicts Distribution Total 405 livestock predations were distributed in 40 locations: Within village (52.6%) Near village (<100m; 33.8%) Outside village (>100;13.6%)

17 B. Conflict Distribution: Conflict Hotspot Areas Conflict hotspots areas: Near village boundary High livestock density (grazing area) Minimum supervision by people

18 C. Conflict Mitigation and Prevention Strategies To reduce the conflicts, this study suggests four strategies: 1 2 Improved livestock Intensive supervision management in hotspot areas

19 C. Conflict Mitigation and Prevention Strategies 4 3 Conflict awareness to Livestock loss local people compensation and insurance programs

20 D. Local People Perceptions on Komodo Dragons Although conflicts have occurred, most respondents showed supports for the dragons conservation 72% respondents expressed positive response toward komodo dragons 90.67% respondents believed human can live together with komodo dragons

21 Conclusions

22 In Komodo Village What we ve got so far? 1. Human-komodo dragon conflicts occurred along village boundary 2. Most conflicts happened during dry season and noon time 3. Four mitigation and prevention strategies to be applied in the village 4. High support for the dragons conservation

23 Future works 1. Conflict study in other villages in KNP and Flores Island e.g. Rinca Village 2. Behavioral study of komodo dragons around the village 3. Study of wild pig as another livestock predator 4. Implementation of conflict mitigation and prevention strategies
