In a major win for wildlife conservation, 12 Przewalski's horses—once extinct in the wild—were released into northwest China's Ningxia this week! 🌍 These rare equines, nicknamed 'the last wild horses,' will join six others freed earlier this year to form three thriving herds. Two adorable foals born to the group have already boosted the population to 20 in the Helan Mountain Nature Reserve. 🎉
Przewalski's horses vanished from China decades ago due to hunting and habitat loss. But thanks to international teamwork (shoutout to the UK, Germany, and the U.S. for their 1980s reintroduction efforts! 🤝), these living fossils are now galloping toward recovery. Scientists call it a 'rewilding miracle'—proving even critically endangered species can bounce back with smart conservation. 🔬✨
