Threatened species of Equus przewalskii
Other Names:
Threatened species of Przewalski's wild horseEndangered species of Takh
Mongolian wild horse under threat
Unprotected Asian wild horse
Incidence:
Currently, there are about 400 horses living in the wild and around 2,000 individuals in captive breeding programs and zoos, and the species' status is now listed as endangered.
The four largest reserves where captive Przewalski's horses roam are in Le Villaret, France; Buchara, Uzbekistan; the Hortobágy-National Park, Hungary; and the Chernobyl exclusion zone, Ukraine. The horses released in the exclusion zone thrived and their numbers grew to a high of around 200, but poaching has reduced their population to about 60 individuals in recent years.
