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。www2.tvboxnow.com; V/ n/ B" O1 f& `3 v4 t3 h

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。% H2 J) P) u, @" E9 n
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.
