Przewalski's horses, the world's last wild horse species, have returned to the steppes of Kazakhstan after nearly 200 years. This reintroduction is part of an ambitious international effort to restore these endangered animals to their native habitats. The first three horses, released after a long journey from Prague, are part of a plan to release 40 horses over the next five years. The horses have returned to the Golden Steppe, marking a significant milestone in conservation efforts.
