“The first part of the Learning Wild expedition to the Great Gobi B SPA is dedicated purely to research. The focus is on collecting behavioural data in the form of videos and detailed field notes on the takhi (Przewalski’s horse), Khulan (Asiatic wild ass) and the free-living domestic horses who share this extraordinary landscape. By collection information on these populations, we can formally anchor the takhi as a control group, giving us a baseline “gold standard” of equine behaviour in their natural habitat.
