The first horses will appear in the new Przewalski horse reintroduction center in the Khakassky nature reserve in 2023. Such plans were announced by the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia with reference to the director of the reserve, Viktor Nepomnyashchy.
The first center for the reintroduction of this species began its work in 2015 at the Pre-Uralskaya Steppe section of the Orenburgsky Reserve, and today its livestock numbers 69 horses, the department noted.
"It is planned that several" pupils "of the first center in 2023 will change their registration and move to a new place of residence - in the Khakass reserve," said the Ministry of Natural Resources.
The Przewalski's horse is one of the thirteen priority objects of the animal world of the federal project “Conservation of biological diversity and development of ecotourism”. Currently, the world population of the species is no more than 3 thousand individuals. According to the draft Program for the restoration of the Przewalski horse in Russia, by 2030 the total number of the species in the country (in zoos, breeding and reintroduction centers) should reach at least one hundred individuals.
