Can zoos actually save species from extinction?
Nigel Rothfels
Subtitle: English | Turkish
For thousands of years, native Takhi horses roamed the steppes of Central Asia. But by the late 1960s, their extinction seemed inevitable. To prevent this, scientists and zoos started a breeding program and soon began releasing new generations of Asia's ancient wild horse back into their native habitat. Nigel Rothfels explains the twists and turns of this complicated conservation effort. [Directed by Anna Benner, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Raphael Tschernuth].
