Hundreds of youths from around 50 countries are scheduled to visit Komodo National Park in East Nusa Tenggara in late February, as part of the World Assembly of Youth program.
The youths will be accompanied by members of the National Committee of Indonesian Youth during the Feb. 23-28 visit.
The chairman of the local Youth Congress steering committee, Gusti Brewon, told reporters in Kupang on Friday that the visit was aimed at studying impacts of climate change on the environmental condition of the park, as well as to bolster support campaigns to protect Komodo dragons.
“The ancient animal is facing extinction if nobody pays serious attention to the environmental condition of its habitat,” Gusti said, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
