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 />
