The Przewalski’s horse is listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species and is under first-class national protection.
Once extinct in China due to excessive poaching and environmental degradation, the Przewalski’s horses were reintroduced to the country from Britain, Germany and the United States starting in the mid-1980s, and were raised in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Gansu Province.
Przewalski’s horses have adapted well to the environment at the West Lake Reserve, where their population totals 212 at present.
