The Xinjiang Przewalski Horse, which is even rarer than the giant panda, has become the subject of love and research for people inside the circle both at home and abroad. It is also liked more and more by the general public. More than a hundred Xinjiang Przewalski Horses have been adopted.

The Xinjiang Wild Animal Protection Association and Xinjiang Wild Horse Breeding Research Center launched a campaign for the adoption of Przewalski Horse, which marks the first of its kind in Xinjiang. According to the Xinjiang Wild Horse Breeding Research Center the adopter may be a unit, group, business or individual, who only has to pay 2,000 yuan to adopt a Przewalski Horse for the period of one year. The adoption fees will be used in the raising and breeding of wild horses.

Reaction to this has been keen with phone calls pouring in to sign up or ask for information. Among them there are also people from Hong Kong and Macao. In addition to businesses many individuals also applied for adoption. All of the first group wild horses were soon adopted.

By far 111 of the 138 Przewalski Horses put forward for adoption by the Xinjiang Wild Animal Protection Association and Xinjiang Wild Horse Breeding Research Center have been adopted with the adoption fees reaching more than 1 million yuan. The Przewalski Horse is the only wild horse that still survives on earth. Its ancestor - dawn-horse was the earliest horse on earth. The Przewalski Horse preserves the original genes of horse, which bestows on it unparalleled biological significance.
