(250925) -- DUNHUANG, Sept. 25, 2025 (Xinhua) -- An aerial drone photo taken on Sept. 24, 2025 shows the Przewalski's horses in the Dunhuang West Lake National Nature Reserve, in Dunhuang, northwest China's Gansu Province. The Dunhuang West Lake National Nature Reserve in Gansu Province covers an area of approximately 660,000 hectares, featuring a diverse ecosystem including wetlands, grasslands, forests and Gobi deserts, which makes it an experimental zone for the wild release of the Przewalski's horses.
The Przewalski's horse is listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species and is under first-class national protection.
Once extinct in China due to excessive poaching and environmental degradation, the Przewalski's horses were reintroduced to the country from Britain, Germany and the United States starting in the mid-1980s, and were raised in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Gansu Province.
Przewalski's horses have adapted well to the environment at the West Lake Reserve, where their population totals 212 at present. (Xinhua/Lang Bingbing)
