Comodo dragon heat recensione1/8/2023 ![]() This species is also an excellent swimmer they can even swim between islands. ![]() What if the effects of global warming can be reduced drastically? If the sea level actually rise, could it reduce the dragon's population? This decrease could reduce the lizard's population by between 27–99%. The study predicts that the komodo dragon's habitat could decrease by around 8–87% by 2050. Using modeling and spatial analysis, the study analyzed the correlation between subsequent sea-level rise and the komodo dragon habitat. ![]() This risk is based on a study published in July 2020. However, the komodo dragon's recent assessment seems to be based on an assumption: the risk of sea-level rise caused by global warming. Some questions would undoubtedly come up: is there a genetic change? Is there excessive poaching or habitat encroachment? Has their habitat been reduced?Įxperts from all over the world will discuss all of those questions with strong scientific evidence. In my experience assessing various species, Endangered status is decided with stringent criteria. Only taxonomists from Indonesia were invited to related meeting in Singapore last year.īefore the status change, the komodo dragons had been in "Vulnerable" status, or one level under Threatened, since 1996.Īccording to the IUCN, the komodo dragons are threatened by the impact of climate change and that in the next 45 years, the rising of global temperature and subsequent sea levels will reduce more than 30% of the ancient lizard's habitat in Komodo National Park. Neither I nor other academics in the field of conservation-who are also IUCN members-from Indonesia were invited to discuss the reassessment of the komodo dragons status.
