脫離非洲大陸已經有1800萬年的歷史,長期的地理隔離加上惡劣乾燥的環境氣候,孕育出極罕見的物種: 825種植物中有307種(37%),90%的爬蟲動物和95%的蝸牛品種,都是在地球上其它地方找不到的。聯合國教科文組織已於2008年將索科特拉島列入世界自然遺產。( O& W4 D, y9 Q  z- q$ M
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.

4 J" Y2 J- ^2 B; COne of the most striking of Socotra’s plants is the dragon’s blood tree (Dracaena Cinnabari), which is a strange-looking, UFO-shaped tree. The tree is so named because any possible injury to the bark results in a deep red liquid that excretes from the scar.
2 d2 \8 |/ O+ _os.tvboxnow.com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。公仔箱論壇" X6 t9 B5 M. y- O
The tree can live to 5000 or 6000 years old. 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.- l, s/ v! V1 t8 S7 Q

好特別的地方與植物, 風化缺水是它的不幸也是它的卓越之處, 幸運是它地理上的隔離, 避免了商業化與人為的侵略, 使它仍可維持自然粗獷的景色, 保持其純真自然的美.

龍血樹號稱是地球上最長壽的樹種之一,最高齡可達6千歲,主要生長在非洲和亞洲南部等熱帶地區;其外型如同漏斗一般,可以有效接住每一滴雨水,而枝幹則像是渠道,將雨水導入樹根,因此即使在乾旱無雨的索科特拉島,它也能夠完全適應。
