The Komodo Foundation is an independent, non-profit and non-governmental body working in the fields of education and environmental awareness. While our programs target the coastal and maritime peoples of Komodo, Flores and Nusa Tenggara, we hope our efforts will make a difference for all peoples of the Indonesian archipelago.

Our vision is to increase awareness and to promote responsible action regarding the natural environment of Nusa Tenggara. Through education and affirmative action we hope to foster real change in attitudes and the livelihoods of the peoples of Nusa Tenggara.

Our mission is to work through informal environmental education in schools, communities and economic groupings to foster awareness and concern about the environment. Our mission is to make conservation a part of everyday life, and to instill in all peoples the following ideal:

Environment is first &. there is no second.
