Komodo National Park covers 178,746.39 hectares

Labuan Bajo — Komodo National Park covers 178,746.39 hectares and includes about 147 islands, according to a November 1 overview. The park is in West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara, and is one of two national parks on Flores, the report said. The island count comprises five main islands and 142 smaller islands.

The overview identified Komodo dragons as part of the park’s terrestrial biodiversity. It also described coral-reef ecosystems and other marine biodiversity within the protected area.

Why the figures matter to visitors

The figures define the scale of the protected area that visitors encounter when travelling through Komodo National Park. The report’s distinction between five main islands and 142 smaller islands also shows that the destination is an island network rather than a single-island attraction. This description places the park’s land area, island count and ecosystems within one overview of the destination.

The area figure and island count come from the Pos-Kupang overview, which presented the park as part of Flores’s national-park system. Its account linked the terrestrial landscape, Komodo dragons and marine ecosystems within the same protected area. Together, these details describe the park’s geographic extent, its distribution across islands and the biodiversity identified in the overview without changing the reported figures.
