This species acually came from being extinct to being endangered. These wild horses were once hunted for their meat and has lost much of their natural habitat to grazing domestic animals. The last true wild horse was seen in 1968, and it may be extinct. Many of the remaining horses are found in zoos although they have lost some of their distinct features due to cross breeding and domestication. Some of these breeds were reintroduced into Mongolian national parks, and in 2005, the wild population was estimated at about 300 animals.
The Przewalski's horse has been endangered for quite some time, this is mainly due to habitat destruction and hunting.
Well, the przewalski's horse is the main one. It is on the endangered list.
The Przewalski horse, a wild horse native to the steppes of central Asia, was declared extinct in the wild in 1969 due to habitat loss, hunting, and competition with domestic livestock. However, it survived in captivity, and conservation efforts led to successful breeding programs. In the 1990s, these efforts resulted in the reintroduction of Przewalski horses into their native habitats, and they are now considered critically endangered but no longer extinct in the wild.
Przewalski's horse was created in 1881.

Saving the Przewalski's horse, a critically endangered species, is vital for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health. As a unique subspecies of wild horse, its preservation helps maintain genetic diversity and serves as a living example of successful conservation efforts. Furthermore, protecting this species can enhance ecological balance by supporting the habitats they occupy, which can benefit other flora and fauna. Additionally, conserving the Przewalski's horse promotes awareness and education about wildlife preservation and the importance of protecting endangered species.
