Przewalski's Horses in Eurasia by Michael L. Zukosky Pdf

Przewalski’s Horses in Eurasia draws on more than two years of ethnographic research to examine the reintroduction of Prezewalski’s horses—a highly endangered breed that is a genetically distinct and distant relative of today’s domesticated horses—into their native habitats across Eurasia. Zukosky explores how pluralism in species reintroduction provides insights into the experiences, relationships, and knowledge required for future international collaborations to better capture the complexity of both nature and society in scientific practice. The book includes philosophical discussions of pluralism in narrative, ethnographic studies of biologists’ observations of changing horse behavior from European captive conditions to release in the wild in Asia, and ethnographic accounts of local non-scientists’ sentiments about the benefits and disadvantages of reintroduction in central Mongolia. Recommended for scholars of anthropology and biology.

Topics included are taxonomy, morphology, former geographic distribution, history in captivity, the studbook, genetics, population biology, nutrition, veterinary care, reproduction, and behavior. Implications for management are also included and are especially relevant in light of recent plans to attempt the reintroduction of Przewalski's horses into the wild. This book provides a valuable reference to those charged with managing this endangered species in captivity and implementing its reintroduction.

The Tale of the Przewalski's Horse by Piet Wit,Inge Bouman Pdf

For tens of thousands of years wild horses roamed over thegrasslands of Europe and Asia. Their endurance and agility madethem the perfect partner for man during his conquest of the world.The loss of importance of the domesticated horses for thecavalries of the world coincided with the disappearance of thelast horses from the wild. Around 1900 some wealthy collectorsrushed to the edge of the Gobi desert to catch a few specimen fromthe last marginalised groups of the proud horse that scientistsbaptised the `Przewalski's horse', after the Polish explorer whohas discovered them. Only twelve of these captured wild horseslive on in their present offspring.In the 1970s the Dutch couple Jan and Inge Bouman decided todedicate their life to the ideal of bringing the Przewalski'shorse back to the wild. This book tells their success story. Itmarks a breakthrough in the way we look at reintroduction projectsof endangered species. The Przewalski's horse or `Takh', as theMongolians call it, has played a catalytic role for the protectionof the mountain steppe ecosystem of Hustai National Park and itssurroundings. It paved the way for the development of integratedpasture management and livelihood improvement of the localherdsmen.

Raising a Przewalski's Horse by Chad Bruno Pdf

A critically endangered subspecies of wild horse, Przewalski's horse is found only on the steppes of Central Asia, specifically Mongolia and China. The Russian geographer and explorer Nikolai Przhevalsky, who led journeys through Central Asia in the 19th century, inspired the name of this horse. Przewalski's horse is unique among horse species in that it has never been domesticated. Characterized by a stocky form, a pale yellowish-brown coat, a short erect mane, and a dark stripe over its back, it has a striking appearance. They thrive in the hot, dry conditions of their native lands. Przewalski's horses were thought to be extinct for a time since there were no longer any in the wild. However, there have been successful attempts to raise their numbers and reintroduce them to the wild through conservation efforts, captive breeding programs, and reintroduction campaigns. They are still critically endangered, but thanks to conservation efforts, their populations have stabilized and their genetic diversity has been preserved. Przewalski's horses are a potent reminder of the importance of preserving biodiversity and preventing the extinction of threatened species.
