Yemen, Socotra: the “Galapagos ” of Indian Ocean
The Socotra archipelago, located in the northwest of the Indian Ocean, near the Gulf of Aden, stretches over 250 km. It includes four islands and two rocky islets that seem to extend the Horn of Africa. It is exceptional for its great diversity of plants and its rate of endemism: 37% of the 825 species of plants present, 90% of the species of reptiles and 95% of the species of land snails are found nowhere else in the world.
