Pr<strong>of</strong>ile: The FPPPH was founded <strong>in</strong> 1977<br />
<strong>in</strong> the Netherlands. In that year it was<br />
already known that the species had<br />
become ext<strong>in</strong>ct <strong>in</strong> the wild. Fortunately<br />
some 300 Przewalski horses were kept <strong>in</strong><br />
zoos and private parks all over the world.<br />
The Foundation has worked systematically<br />
to re-<strong>in</strong>troduce Przewalski horses<br />
<strong>in</strong>to the Eurasian steppe – specifically <strong>in</strong><br />
the National Park Husta<strong>in</strong> Nuruu <strong>in</strong><br />
Mongolia. Accord<strong>in</strong>g to its most recent<br />
study, the mounta<strong>in</strong> steppe area <strong>of</strong><br />
Husta<strong>in</strong> Nuruu is a suitable site for<br />
support<strong>in</strong>g a population <strong>of</strong> wild horses.<br />
FPPPH works <strong>in</strong> close co-operation with<br />
MACNE, Stiftung Urwildpferd<br />
(Germany) and FRPH (The Netherlands).<br />
It publishes the biannual magaz<strong>in</strong>e<br />
“Przewalski Horse” and the quarterly<br />
Dutch magaz<strong>in</strong>e “Przewalski Paard”.<br />
