Cultural beliefs often emphasize harmony with nature. In local folklore, for example, Komodowarane<\/a> are considered part of the community\u2019s extended family, reflecting a spiritual relationship between humans and wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This philosophy has helped shape a respectful coexistence between people and the natural world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
