By 1966, the Przewalski's Horse was completely extinct in the wild, but have since been successfully reintroduced into the wild amongst the reserves and national parks of Mongolia following a successful captive breeding programme. The IUCN has since reclassified its conservation status from ‘extinct in the wild’ to ‘endangered’.
