The organisation also included a comprehensive reassessment of shark and ray species, with 37% now threatened with extinction due to overfishing, loss of habitat and the climate crisis.
Out of 138,000 species on the updated IUCN red list, more than 38,000 are threatened with extinction. The subpopulation in Komodo national park is currently stable and protected. They discovered where they were living on Flores and now hope to do more focused conservation and community work in those areas. “It is the most charismatic reptile on the planet yet until last year we didn’t really know where the komodos lived,” said Garcia, who was part of a three-year project with the Indonesian NGO Komodo Survival Programme that involved using camera traps to work out their movements.
