For the Greeks, it was the blood spilt by Ladon, the hundred-headed dragon charged with guarding the entrance to the Garden of the Hesperides, struck down by Hercules during his labours, that gave birth to this tree. Its sap, a resin that oxidises and dries in the open air to a blood-red colour, has fed the myth... and led to it being credited with mystical powers by alchemists. It is also the blood with which the luthiers of Cremona coated their violins that is said to have given the Stradivarius its distinctive timbre.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo-5_Brigitte-Postel_socotra_dracaena-cinnabari_bd_DSC00808-Copier.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-4\" data-rl_title=\"Rompus de failles et de falaises abruptes, les massifs calcaires du nord de l\u2019\u00eele rassemblent la plus grande collection de sang-dragon.\" data-rl_caption=\"Rompus de failles et de falaises abruptes, les massifs calcaires du nord de l\u2019\u00eele rassemblent la plus grande collection de sang-dragon.\" title=\"The limestone massifs in the north of the island, riddled with cracks and sheer cliffs, are home to the largest collection of dragon&#039;s blood.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1038\" src=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo-5_Brigitte-Postel_socotra_dracaena-cinnabari_bd_DSC00808-Copier.jpg\" alt=\"The limestone massifs in the north of the island, riddled with cracks and sheer cliffs, are home to the largest collection of dragon&#039;s blood.\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo-5_Brigitte-Postel_socotra_dracaena-cinnabari_bd_DSC00808-Copier.jpg 576w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo-5_Brigitte-Postel_socotra_dracaena-cinnabari_bd_DSC00808-Copier-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo-5_Brigitte-Postel_socotra_dracaena-cinnabari_bd_DSC00808-Copier-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>The limestone massifs in the north of the island, riddled with cracks and sheer cliffs, are home to the largest collection of dragon's blood.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Majestic silhouettes that stand out from the ridge line, dragon sang trees are scattered across the high limestone plateaux of central France.

However, the island has not escaped the effects of climate change. In 2015, two cyclones hit the island in the space of a week, causing extensive damage to the mostly rudimentary stone-built dwellings, and half the population was displaced.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of 2016, the self-proclaimed Yemeni President considered leasing the island of Socotra to the United Arab Emirates for 99 years in order to develop tourism there, as a reward for their support in the fight against the Houthi rebels. Other sources point to a possible takeover of the island by the United States, to combat terrorism in Yemen by turning it into a military base. Ultimately, no one can predict what Socotra will look like in a few years' time.<\/p>\n<p>The travel agency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.explo.com\/produits\/a559-socotra-yemen-socotra-ile-mysterieuse-ile-merveilleuse\">Explorator<\/a> organises trips to Socotra.
