[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After many years of work, the population of an endangered horse breed is growing again. In the Xinjiang region of China, a total of 487 Przewalski’s horses were counted last year.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Przewalski horse, also known as the Asian wild horse, has long been on the Red List<\/b> of endangered species. They are characterized by their short and muscular body, a standing mane and white nose. Originally, it was assumed that the animals of the Mongolian steppe were the only remaining wild horse species. Researchers, however, found that the animals were a<\/span> feral variety of the first domesticated horses<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Saving the species through cloning<\/h2>\n

At the San Diego Zoo, the first Przewalski’s horse clone<\/b> was born to ensure the preservation of the endangered species. This is necessary because the horse was extinct due to poaching <\/b>and <\/span>environmental degradation <\/b>in China. Then, in the mid-1980s, it was brought from the UK, Germany and the US to the western Chinese provinces of Xinjiang and Gansu to be bred.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Population of the animals has grown<\/h2>\n

The breeding showed first successes in the year 2000. The population of the endangered horse breed increased to almost 100 animals<\/b> in Xinjiang. Within the last 20 years, the trend continued. A total of 16 groups of the horse breed have been released in Xijiang and 110 wild horses have returned to the wilderness. Finally, by the end of 2020, a number of <\/span>274 animals could be recorded<\/b>. This was confirmed by the director of Xinjiang Wild Horse Breeding and Research Center, Yang Jianming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
