The PHCA is connecting 11 organizations across Asia and Europe focusing on Przewalski’s horse breeding and reintroduction in the (semi)wild with the overarching objective to enhance the conservation of the species. The alliance was officially launched at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on the 12th of October 2025. Among the founding members of the alliance are the ITG and the Great Gobi “B” Specially Protected Area.
For more than 30 years, numerous initiatives focused on the Przewalski’s horse conservation through maintaining its populations in wild or semi-wild conditions or reintroducing the species into its natural habitat. As the projects share a common goal and similar challenges, the managing organizations realize that all would benefit from the exchange of knowledge, expertise and experiences. The idea to establish the alliance was elaborated and agreed at Takhi International Workshop in Hustai National Park, Mongolia, in September 2024 and the Przewalski’s Horse Conservation Alliance was officially established by a Memorandum of Understanding in Autumn 2025.
