Przewalski's Horses Reintroduced to Kazakhstan After 200 Years
Seven wild horses have returned to their ancestral habitat, marking a significant milestone in global conservation efforts.
- The Przewalski's horse is the last truly wild horse species, extinct in the wild since the 1960s.
- Prague Zoo led the reintroduction, transporting the horses from Europe to the Altyn Dala region.
- The horses will stay in an acclimatisation enclosure for a year to adapt to the environment.
- A total of 40 horses are planned to be reintroduced over the next five years.
- The reintroduction aims to establish a viable population and promote biodiversity in the region.
