Indonesia says 'Jurassic Park' project no threat to Komodo dragon



4.完整新聞內文:

Indonesia's environment ministry on Tuesday sought to calm outrage over construc
tion of an island tourism project being dubbed "Jurassic Park", after an image w
ent viral on social media of a Komodo dragon facing off with a big truck.

The picture of the dragon, one of the world's largest lizards, blocking the path
 of a big vehicle on Indonesia's Rinca Island prompted an outpouring of anger ab
out perceived threats to the natural habitat of the vulnerable species.

Reuters was not able to verify the authenticity of the picture.

Wiratno, a senior environment ministry official, said rangers would ensure the s
afety of dragons roaming near the construction, which will include an elevated d
eck, a dam and an information centre, to be completed in June.

"They will intensively make checks of whether the Komodo dragons are under the b
uildings, remnants of buildings, and under the trucks carrying material," he sai
d in a statement.

Indonesia's current Komodo population is about 3,000, according to government da
ta.

Komodo dragons reach up to 10 feet (3 metres) long, have curved and serrated tee
th, a yellow forked tongue, strong limbs and a long tail.

They can take down prey as big as a water buffalo with a single venomous bite.

The project, which involves the country's public works and housing ministry, see
ks to cater to visitors of the Komodo National Park, where the Komodos can be se
en in the wild.

Social media users have likened the project to one on a dinosaur island featured
 in the "Jurassic Park" films.

The public works ministry in a statement on Monday also assured the safety of th
e Komodos.

But environmentalists said the construction must stop.

"Komodo needs to be the main priority. They need to be protected in a designated
 area," said Umbu Wulang Tanaamahu Paranggi, director of the Indonesian Forum fo
r the Environment (Walhi) in East Nusa Tenggara.

"What's going on now is a destruction of the dragons' living spaces."
