Socotra has been tectonically isolated from Africa and Arabia for the past 18 million years, with its fierce heat and drought have combined to create a unique and spectacular endemic flora. Huge number of flora and fauna on Socotra are endemic, i.e., they are found nowhere else on Earth: 37% of Socotra’s 825 plant species, 90% of its reptile species and 95% of its land snail species. The island was recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a world natural heritage site in July 2008.

The tree is so named because any possible injury to the bark results in a deep red liquid that excretes from the scar.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。# n3 v" j) {1 I
據說樹齡最高可達六千年,其深紅色的樹脂被命名為龍血竭,不但可用於醫藥、染料,也被用於巫術、煉金術與民間魔法。最新的調查報告顯示,氣候緩化令季節性雲量减少,造成索科特拉島水分缺乏,加上外來物種入侵,索科特拉島上幾乎已經沒有了自然生長的龍血樹幼苗。專家預期,或許在100年內,索科特拉島多數龍血樹都會死亡,這一植物將面臨滅絕困境。

Its red sap was thought to be the dragon’s blood of the ancients, sought after as a medicine and a dye, also inscribe as magical seals and talismans. Some scientists blame a lack of water caused by a decrease in seasonal cloud cover—and predict that many stands could disappear within a century.5.39.217.77( T) U, Q, g6 S2 T
