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.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb+ e; w% M/ i% O- W" o

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。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。) X' t. d& P- H
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. ) [% e A9 g o+ Z公仔箱論壇在懸崖上的沙漠玫瑰 (Adenium Obesum) 也相當特別,直接嵌進石頭長出來,完全不需要土壤;樹皮則像橡膠一樣閃閃發亮,枝幹頂端還會長出漂亮的粉紅色花朵。 6 n4 m, b.

根據島上的記載,早在公元52年,島民就已經在聖多馬的指引下皈依基督教。1507年,葡萄牙人來到島上,幫助島民擺脫了阿拉伯半島上伊斯蘭教國家的控制,但是4年以後葡萄牙人離開該島,使得島民又重新淪為Mahra蘇丹的臣民。1886年,同Mahra蘇丹國一道歸入英國保護,成為英國在印度洋上的重要基地。 6 w. ?5 @" }, t% o5 ~1967年,索科特拉島隨南也門獨立。目前,該島是也門的領土。作者: makotochan 時間: 2013-6-7 09:16 AM
