Przewalski's Horse

“The last true wild horse and the only ancestor of the domestic horse that has survived to the present day. The final abode of the Przewalski's was in southwest Mongolia where the last wild specimen was recorded in 1968. Habitat degradation and human activities including hunting and conflict along with competition with domestic livestock for water and forage were all thought to be responsible for the extinction of Przewalski's horse in the wild.”

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Support protection and restoration of steppe grasslands, the natural habitat Przewalski’s Horses depend upon.

• Choose sustainably raised grazing products so wild rangelands aren’t overused or converted.

• Limit purchases of products that come from heavily grazed areas, such as beef or wool from regions where natural grasslands have been overused.
