China's Przewalski's horse population has grown to over 900 – about one-third of the global total – marking 40 years since the species' reintroduction. Native to Xinjiang's Junggar Basin and parts of Mongolia, the world's only surviving wild horse remains endangered but has thrived thanks to decades of habitat restoration and breeding programs. Today, rewilding efforts are expanding across the autonomous regions of Ningxia and Inner Mongolia, and Gansu Province, with habitats steadily enlarging. The Xinjiang Wild Horse Breeding and Research Center, Asia's largest, has bred more than 800 horses and released 146 into the wild.
