Przewalski s horses at the Helan Mountain Nature Reserve - China

A staff member checks the Przewalski's horses at the Helan Mountain Nature Reserve in northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, April 17, 2025. The Przewalski's horse is listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species and is under first-class national protection. Once extinct in China due to excessive poaching and environmental degradation, the Przewalski's horses were reintroduced to the country from Britain, Germany and the United States starting in the mid-1980s, and were raised in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Gansu Province. Since 2024, a total of 18 Przewalski's horses in three batches from Xinjiang have been released into the Helan Mountain Nature Reserve in Ningxia, as a way to protect the endangered species. On April 13 this year, a Przewalski's horse gave birth to a foal, marking the first case of breeding after the reintroduction of the Przewalski's horse in the nature reserve.

Lynx At Andujar Natural Park - Spain

A lynx in Cortijo Gato Clavo, on November 8, 2024, in the Sierra de Andujar Natural Park, Jaen, Andalusia, Spain. In June 2024, the total number of lynx in the Iberian Peninsula exceeded 2000 specimens, thus ceasing to be an "endangered" species and becoming "vulnerable". In any case, this figure is still far from reaching the number of specimens between 3000-5000 to reach a viable population in its entirety and out of danger to be in a favorable conservation status, according to European regulations. Among the threats to the lynx are the decrease in the populations of wild rabbits, which make up 90% of its diet, the increasing number of road killings and poaching. Every year in Spain, 100 lynxes are killed by road kill or killed by hunting, poisons or traps. Photo by Rafael Bastante/Europa Press/ABACAPRESS.COM
