| Socotra is known for a variety of land and sea birds. Of the 192 bird species found here, 44 of them breed on the islands while 85 are regular migrants that include a number of threatened species. The marine life is also very diverse with 253 species of reef-building corals, 730 species of coastal fish and 300 species of crab, lobster and shrimp. Pomegranate tree can grow to 15 feet in height. It is native to Socotra and is considered a predecessor to the commonly found pomegranate in our markets. It differs from the widely available pomegranate in having pink and not red trumpet-shaped flowers and a smaller less sweeter fruit. A ripe fruit is yellow-green or brownish red in color. The skin of the fruit is crushed, cooked and the paste is applied to treat sores and wounds. |

If Delhi wants cleaner winters, it needs more green cover, not just temporary interventions. Clouds may not cooperate, but trees always will.
