It is believed that Socotra got its name from Sanskrit, meaning “Island of Bliss.” Others suggest the name was derived from Arabic and means “dripping frankincense.” It may be a bit of both, currently unspoiled by man, but most people know of Socotra as being “the most alien-looking place on Earth.” It’s like a whole another world, like a different dimension。

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.& H% b( z5 a* T+ C0 j' i  k, q
索科特拉島島上最著名的物種是龍血樹 (Dracaena Cinnabari),看起來就像飛碟一樣,帶著深紅色的樹汁。
# n* c; q) U, u) A: }1 t" otvb now,tvbnow,bttvbOne 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.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb0 W3 X$ Z- q9 Q6 l7 r9 O" u: q
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。6 t6 `* T$ ?! g  A: Y+ m
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.

索科特拉島,印度洋西部一群島,屬也門哈達拉毛省領土。其位置在阿拉伯半島以南約350公里,非洲之角以東,阿拉伯海與亞丁灣的交接處。該群島由4島組成,群島面積3650平方公里,主島面積3635平方公里。2008年,聯合國教科文組織將該地列入世界遺產名錄,登錄名稱為索科特拉群島。5.39.217.76- d) @' w6 k: B# K$ V7 a2 G8 p+ a
島上人口以阿拉伯人為主,說索科特拉語,主要城鎮Hadiboh人口約43000人,有機場。棗椰、煙草、畜牧業和漁業是島上經濟支柱。5.39.217.76. o3 P6 ~; p4 R
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。5.39.217.763 v( C  _) G" c9 I" ?" B7 U
1967年,索科特拉島隨南也門獨立。目前,該島是也門的領土。

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。5.39.217.769 ^! r% L9 k* u3 b5 L
一旦劃開龍血樹的樹皮,便會有鮮紅色的汁液汩汩流出,當地人將這些「龍血」製成染料,或作為治療呼吸道及腸胃問題的藥物;也有巫師會配合儀式和煉金術,用來提升自己的法力。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb- n( h' H5 W; C6 l
龍血在中國則被稱為「血竭」,又名「麒麟竭」,是專治跌打損傷的活血聖藥。
