Dragon’s blood trees face extinction in their only home on Earth
Dragon’s blood trees, known for their unique umbrella-like shape and crimson resin, are native only to Socotra Island, Yemen. These ancient and rare trees are now at serious risk of extinction due to climate change, overgrazing, and habitat destruction. Their limited habitat and slow growth make recovery difficult. Conservationists warn that urgent action is needed to preserve this iconic species, which plays a vital role in the island’s ecosystem and cultural heritage.
