00:30We think that these plannings will threaten local economy, especially for the indigenous
00:57people, also marginalize the local tourism stakeholders, and threaten or cause the environmental
01:05problem for the ecosystems.
01:27Concrete materials will change the landscape within Komodo Sompa, and even the construction
01:41itself seems like trapping the animals in Komodo.
01:47Within the artificial walls, the building looks like a circle, and the animals, there
01:55is little space for Komodo to move in or move out.
02:01When Komodo spray is being threatened by this building, they will not go there, and it affects
02:09the habits of this Komodo itself.
02:25They will raise the entrance fee to Komodo Island, and they also built a jurassic park
02:46for the mass tourism.
02:48They have given permits to private companies to exclusively manage this conservation area.
02:58We think that if the government rejects or remains ignoring all these good proposals
03:26in Sykes, it will be the end of this Komodo National Park, because everyone, every rich
03:34people with the power they have, they can push the authority to give them a portion
03:44to executing business or doing business within this Komodo National Park.
