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,bttvb3 U j. t" f& o! }9 M3 L

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.

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。 ' m8 ]4 ?4 A |# }2 v- fTVBNOW 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。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
