Overview
Is the wild just too wild? Or can scientists save a species that has gone extinct in the wild? It’s hard. Difficult. Almost impossible.
In the early 1900s, the Przewalski’s horse, nicknamed the P-horse, was almost extinct, a species that was disappearing. But in 1959, the international community came together to fight to save the species. They found a small population that came from just 12 founding horses. Could they save the P-horse and return it to the wild? Or would it go extinct.
This story covers over 60 years, and a loose network of international effort from scientists across the world. After decades of breeding efforts, they finally established wild herds in the native steppes of Mongolia and China. But then an extreme winter, a dzud, struck, killing 60% of the wild herds.
Photo-illustrated, this story follows the efforts to restore a vital species to the wild. The sixty-year effort has brought the P-horse from Extinct in the Wild to only Endangered. Still—it’s endangered! The story will continue to inspire the next generations to work to save species at risk for extinction.
