Who, exactly, is responsible for the tragic demise of the Komodo dragon? Are we looking at human intervention, such as poaching for its scales or habitat destruction due to deforestation? Or could it be natural predators, such as tigers or other large carnivores, that have managed to infiltrate their territory? Alternatively, could it be a lack of food sources due to climate change or other environmental factors? Understanding the cause of the Komodo dragon's demise is crucial in order to devise effective conservation measures to protect this iconic species.
