Dragon's Blood Trees of Socotra Are Endangered | National Geographic
One of the most distinctive places on Earth sits 60 miles off the coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. Socotra, which is governed by Yemen, has been called the “Galapagos of the Indian Ocean” due to the large number of plant and animal species that live only there. Perhaps the most iconic being the dragon’s blood tree.

Named after their bright red sap, dragon’s blood trees can live to be thousands of years old and take a long time to mature before they reproduce. They have become increasingly threatened by livestock that feed on the young saplings.

As the climate warms, destructive storms may become more common, threatening the island and its unique inhabitants.
