European Zoos to Reintroduce Endangered Wild Horses in Kazakhstan
In a joint effort, Prague and Berlin zoos plan to transport Przewalski's horses to the Altyn Dala region, aiming to bolster the species' wild population.
- Prague and Berlin zoos collaborate to reintroduce Przewalski's horses to Kazakhstan's Altyn Dala region.
- The first batch of eight horses, including three stallions and five mares, will be transported in June via a 15-hour flight with stopovers in Istanbul and Baku.
- This initiative is part of a broader effort to increase the wild population of Przewalski's horses, the last surviving wild horse species.
- The project involves transporting at least 40 horses over the next five years, aiming to enhance genetic diversity and ensure long-term survival.
- Prague Zoo has been breeding Przewalski's horses since 1932 and maintains the world genealogy book for the species.
