The volcanic activity causes loss of the lizard's prey,plus causing deaths and loss of the dragons. Another threat is the villagers that live close to the komodo dragons. The villagers are reducing the population by poisoning carrion and then throwing it where the lizards will get and then killing the lizards by poison. They are also endangered because of tourism in the Sunda and Komodo Islands and because of illegal poaching. There are about 5000 dragons in the wild and only 350 of them are breeding females.

∙ 11y agoThere are approximately 4,000 to 5,000 Komodo dragons in the wild. They live on the islands of Gili Motang, Gili Dasami, Rinca, Komodo, and Flores in Indonesia. Their conservation status is Vulnerable as a result of volcanic activity, habitat loss, fire, and poachers who kill them and their prey. Komodo dragons are already extinct on the island of Padar, most likely because of the loss of prey animals due to poachers.
