Last month, officials from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization told a World Heritage Committee conference that the project required a new environmental impact assessment over illegal fishing concerns and the potential risk to the Komodo dragon's natural habitat. It was not clear exactly what the project, centred on the island of Rinca, entails. Last year, the government said it was building a "premium tourism spot" on the island.
"We urge the government to develop tourism that's based on the people. There are people living there," she said.
