Chinanews, Urumqi, December 28 – After over two decades of hard work, Chinese scientists has finally managed to restore the population of Przewalskii horses to some 300 in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

 

Of these, 24 were imported from Germany, 252 were born in the local Wild Horse Protection and Breeding Center, and another 24 were born in the wild.

 

The scientists are experimenting to restore the Przewalskii horse population in the wild,too, but the job is not easy, since the last wild Przewalskii horse was believed to have been killed in the 1970s.

 

Although the future of Przewalskii horses is still not guaranteed, the current some 1,000 horses, especially the 300 in their hometown, give people some confidence in seeing them again in the wild not long after.
