Previously categorised as Extinct in the Wild from the 1960s untilthe most recent assessment in 1996. However, successful reintroductions at Hustai NationalPark, Tahiin Tal Nature Reserve, and Homiin Tal have qualifi ed this species for reassessment.The population now consists of greater than 250 mature individuals of which many have hadviable offspring. This species would qualify for Endangered if it were not for the fi ve yearrule which requires that a species must not meet any of the criteria of the higher category ofthreat for at least fi ve years before it can be listed in a lower category of threat. Therefore,Przewalski's horse is currently listed as Critically Endangered and if current trends continue itwill be listed as Endangered in the near future. This taxon is threatened by hybridisation withdomestic horses, loss of genetic diversity, and disease. The assessment remains unchangedfollowing application of regional criteria as there is no immigration from adjacent countries.
