In an exciting conservation milestone, 12 critically endangered Przewalski's horses were released into the wild in Ningxia on Tuesday. These magnificent animals join six horses from an earlier release in February, coming together to form three lively herds in the Helan Mountain Nature Reserve. 🐎✨
Once driven to extinction in China due to excessive poaching and environmental challenges, these wild horses were reintroduced from Britain, Germany, and the United States in the mid-1980s. With the addition of two foals born from the released group, the wild population has now reached 20. This inspiring effort highlights how dedication and teamwork can give nature a second chance—perfect news for young conservation enthusiasts and tech-savvy changemakers across South and Southeast Asia!
