FKIP UHAMKA [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. Indonesia's ethnic diversity has become a world-recognized identity. There are more than 750 ethnic groups throughout Indonesia from Sabang to Merauke. Every ethnic group has its character and is also an image of a proud cultural system. The Lio ethnic group is one of the ethnic groups on the island of Flores with their traditional ties and values of local wisdom that enrich Indonesia's diversity. One of its values include the local leadership known as Mosalaki. In Sikka Regency, the status of a Mosalaki in the Lio ethnic group is still the central point of the social structure. The Mosalaki are prominent figures in terms of their origins, authority and charisma that are not shared by society in general. In various traditional ceremonial procedures, the Mosalaki have an essential role to play, such as deciding the planting season, land management procedures, marriage procedures, and procedures for preserving and ensuring the wellbeing of people, contact behaviour, the belief system embraced even in the realm of modern politics today. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach as developed by Spradley. The results of the study describe that the role of a Mosalaki is still the focal point of all activities in the Lio ethnic, especially in the modern world today.

Therefore, the local government intend to promoting cultural attraction as an effort to reduce negative impacts at Labuan Bajo and at the same time equalize the positive impacts of tourism. The approach of quantitative descriptive method was used on data obtained through focus group discussions and observations to test the readiness of a village to become a tourist village. The data analysis technique uses the interval interpretation technique, in which there are three interval categories. The results of this study indicate that there are six variables assessed in the tourism village assessment instrument, namely 1) attractions (nature and culture), 2) accessibility, 3) amenities (public facilities and tourism support), 4) institutions and society, 5) strategy. marketing, and 6) industry. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the Wae Sano villages and Wae Lolos villages can be included in the category "can be recommended to become a tourist village with a note".

  • 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment
    IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Komodo National Park - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment Komodo National Park 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment SITE INFORMATION Country: Indonesia Inscribed in: 1991 Criteria: (vii) (x) These volcanic islands are inhabited by a population of around 5,700 giant lizards, whose appearance and aggressive behaviour have led to them being called 'Komodo dragons'. They exist nowhere else in the world and are of great interest to scientists studying the theory of evolution. The rugged hillsides of dry savannah and pockets of thorny green vegetation contrast starkly with the brilliant white sandy beaches and the blue waters surging over coral. © UNESCO SUMMARY 2020 Conservation Outlook Finalised on 02 Dec 2020 SIGNIFICANT CONCERN Komodo National Park is home to a charismatic large reptile whose wild island habitats are surrounded by oceans rich in coral, cetaceans and pelagic fish. The vividly beautiful landscapes and seascapes of the property remain well-preserved and largely intact. However, impacts have been reported on the physical state and behaviour of Komodo dragons subjected to a high incidence of visitation. The property's marine component already faces a multitude of threats that include over-exploitation, illegal and destructive fishing practices, and infestation by a coral-killing alien species. In the medium term, Komodo also faces a large increase in visitor numbers, the pressures of an expanding local and regional population, and climate change. Altered fire regimes could damage the savannah and forest habitats of the Komodo dragon; warmer waters could bring an increase in coral bleaching; more energetic storm events combined with sea-level rise could wreak damage on reef systems.

However, along with many positive benefits of tourism there are many negative impacts on economic, social and environmental aspects of communities. The introduction of tourism often triggers alterations in the way local people make a living. Such alterations often lead to full tourism-dependent livelihoods, affecting the sustainability of traditional livelihoods due to the unreliability of the tourism industry. This study provides empirical evidence of such alterations in local communities. The research data for this study was collected in Komodo District, West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, with the souvenir, tour boat and travel businesses as case studies. Using qualitative methods, this study elaborates the impacts of tourism on local livelihoods, by focusing on: the process of how tourism affected local livelihoods; the opportunities and threats emerging from the impact of tourism; the strategies applied to respond to the challenges; and the locals’ perspectives of influential stakeholders and sustainable tourism development.

  • Crocodile Specialist Group Steering Committee Meeting Skukuza, Kruger National Park, South Africa 22 May 2016
    Agenda Item: SC. 3.5. Crocodile Specialist Group Steering Committee Meeting Skukuza, Kruger National Park, South Africa 22 May 2016 Zoos Report 1. We cannot express enough how great loss to the CSG and to the international zoo community was the passing of Ralf Sommerlad. Ralf was a tireless champion for crocodilians both in captivity and in the wild. He was a great communicator, an intermediary, a messenger that carried and transmitted information, ideas, and initiatives between Europe, North American and Asia. In so doing, Ralf helped the zoo community coordinate its crocodilian conservation efforts, focusing regional associations on specific projects, as well as combining forces when conservation programs required more resources than could be supplied by a single association. He was a great partner for me in my role as Vice-chair for this group, sharing ideas and information, constantly keeping me up to date with zoo activities in Europe relative to crocodilians. Toward the closing of the 2014 CSG working meeting in Lake Charles, Ralf took me aside, along with Fabian Schmidt (Zoo Leipzig), and told me that he would no longer be able to provide the support that he had for so many years and urged me to collaborate with Fabian instead. So, Fabian Schmidt is now assisting me with European matters. 2. Activities in North American zoos a. The Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) Crocodilian Advisory Group (CAG) continues to promote the exhibition of crocodilians in North American zoos, aquariums and other living institutions. i. The “Crocodilian Biology and Captive Management” professional training school, developed and given by the CAG, held its 16th annual course just last month.
