Alien-looking Island
+ f6 J( o1 S1 ^" Y0 ?5.39.217.76It 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。

N索科特拉島 (阿拉伯語:سقطرى;Socotra;Suquṭra;Soqotra) 是西印度洋西北部的一群島,位於阿拉伯海與亞丁灣的交界處是由4座小島組合而成,屬於也門哈達拉毛省領土。Socotra (Arabic: سُقُطْرَى‎;Suquṭra;Soqotra) is a small archipelago of four islands in the Indian Ocean. It lies in the north-western corner of the Western Indian Ocean, at the junction between the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea, belong to part of the Republic of Yemen.

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。

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.

One 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.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。/ k5 R3 U( [! S; Y$ X
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。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb8 A4 O8 ^, P) ?0 ^0 O; S- _/ M4 c3 D
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。3 }1 |& a/ ]' l
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。
* T$ D* f  o# _/ w1 _tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb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。: s- a- n9 ]7 F4 t$ N, i
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。
