Why Khustain Nuruu National Park stands out
Khustain Nuruu National Park is best known as the site of the successful reintroduction of the Przewalski's horse, or takhi, to its natural habitat. This conservation achievement represents one of the most remarkable wildlife recovery stories in Asia, as the species was driven to extinction in the wild in Mongolia during the 1960s. The park provides protected habitat for these horses and offers one of the few places in the world where visitors can observe the last truly wild horse species in its natural steppe environment.
