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.
