Socotra (häftad, eng)
Produktbeskrivning
Sometimes known as ''The Galapagos of the Indian Ocean'', the archipelago has an exceptionally large number of species found nowhere else in the world (''endemic'') in an area barely the size of Wiltshire. Accordingly, wildlife-watchers love Socotra: of over 220 bird species recorded, 12 are endemic, while more than 300 plant species are endemic, as are all the land snails, 90% of reptiles and about 60% of spiders.
Socotra offers much to fascinate the adventurous traveller. Visitors may snorkel from boats or pristine beaches; camel-trek into mountains formed by volcanic activity; gawp at bizarre plants - dragon blood trees that resemble huge, fuzzy-topped umbrellas and giant desert roses; engage with Socotra''s rich history, which stretches back to the Stone Age and includes ancient cave art; and lunch at delightful fishing villages.Bradt''s full-colour guide covers everything needed for a successful visit, including pre-departure planning, getting there, tour operators, where to stay and what to see.
Background information on history, people, language and culture is followed by an easy-to-follow geographical breakdown covering all parts of the island, from the capital Hadiboh to Ayhaft Canyon National Park, Qaria lagoon, Rosh Marine Nature Sanctuary, Homhil Nature Sanctuary, Terbak village, Hoq Cave, Qalansiyah, Diksam Plateau and Firmihin Forest.
To preserve its fragile environments, the recent growth in tourism - enabled by recent improvements in transport links and resulting in expansion of tourist infrastructure - is being handled with extreme care. Strict regulations are in force to preserve the island''s natural heritage and nearly three-quarters has protected status.
This pristine and relatively unknown little island, so full of natural treasures, may be on the brink of a very different future. Responsible tourism is paramount, so let Bradt''s Socotra be your guide to this captivating island.
