From the article:

Forty years after China launched the "Wild Horse Return Program", the Przewalski's horse — the world's only surviving wild horse species — has completed a historic transition from being on the brink of extinction to there being self-sustaining wild herds in Northwest China. The population of Przewalski's horses in China has surpassed 900 individuals, accounting for approximately one-third of the global total, according to figures released during an event to mark the 40th anniversary of the species' reintroduction. The milestone follows decades of conservation under the "Wild Horse Return Program", an initiative launched in 1985 to restore the species that was declared extinct in the wild during the 1970s due to poaching and habitat loss. The recovery has successfully transitioned the "living fossil" — which possesses an evolutionary history of 60 million years — from captive breeding to self-sustaining wild herds.
