Climate Yemen Dragons Blood Trees

Increasingly severe cyclones, grazing by invasive goats, and persistent turmoil in Yemen have threatened the survival of the country's iconic dragon’s blood tree. Found only on the island of Socotra, these umbrella-shaped trees have long captured the imaginations of tourists. But protecting them has fallen to residents like Sena Keybani. Her family runs a small nursery for the trees. Scientists warn the species could disappear within centuries. For Socotra, losing the trees would mean losing both an ecosystem and a fragile economy.
