Like other reptiles, the Komodo dragon reproduce by laying eggs. However, research has shown there are other ways to regenerate dragons, namely by means of parthenogenesis. This method allows the dragons females to produce eggs without fertilization by males. Parthenogenetic dragons allegedly had saved from extinction since thousands of years ago. However, habitat destruction, volcanic activity, earthquakes, fires, until the poaching has resulted in a decrease indicated a population of dragons to some degree vulnerable to extinction. It is estimated that there are 4-5 thousand dragons tail in the presence of a productive female only hundreds. Such a condition is a challenge for conservation efforts Komodo Island National Park.

Eco-tourism, announced the government on the island of Komodo National Park is expected to bring more domestic tourists / foreign countries. Not only parents, even though children should not be afraid to come and visit there. With safety regulations and tour are awake, humans and dragons can coexist peacefully. And like children, their love of dragons are the seeds that can grow their love of the wealth of the country and its history.It seems that this is a first message in the 90′s never sung with slick passing by Kak Seto Si Komo her doll. Through the character of Si Komo, Kak Seto brings Komodo conservation message to heart and mind the children of Indonesia, to make them proud of the wealth of his country.
