Kazakhstan’s Wildlife Comeback: Horses, Tigers, and Snow Leopards Flourish
Kazakhstan’s ambitious wildlife conservation program is successfully reintroducing extinct or critically endangered species. Hungary’s contribution of 150 Przewalski’s horses bolsters this effort, with the first seven already released. Simultaneously, the reintroduction of the Turanian tiger is underway, supported by habitat restoration and the arrival of tigers from the Netherlands and expected from Russia. Furthermore, snow leopard numbers have doubled since the 1990s, thanks to expanded protected areas and advanced monitoring techniques.
