Abstract

Socotra is the largest Yemeni island, covering 3,625 km2 and providing home and livelihoods to about 45,000 inhabitants. To its west lie three smaller islands: Darsa, which is uninhabited, Samha with an area of 50 sq. km. and a population of about 150 people, and the larger Abd Al-Kori, covering 125 sq. km and inhabited by about 400 people. The primary economic activity in the islands is fishing on the coast and raising livestock in the interior. The people of Socotra have lived in harmony with their environment for thousands of years. Their indigenous knowledge and their inherited traditional management practices have admirably conserved their natural resources up to modern times.
