Can zoos save species from extinction? - Nigel Rothfels
Dig into the breeding program that saved Takhi horses from extinction, and explore the role of zoos in animal conservation.
--
For thousands of years, native Takhi horses roamed the steppes of Central Asia. But by the late 1960s, their extinction seemed inevitable. To prevent this, scientists and zoos started a breeding program and soon began releasing new generations of Asia’s ancient wild horse back into their native habitat. Nigel Rothfels explains the twists and turns of this complicated conservation effort.
