Wild Horses Brought Back from Extinction: Mongolia's Conservation Efforts with Nara Naranpurev
Beskrivelse
What does it take to bring a species back from extinction and keep an entire culture alive while doing it? In this episode of The Global Hustle, Sergio speaks with Narangerel Naranpurev (aka Nara), Conservation Director at the Wildlife Science Conservation Center in Mongolia. Nara spent 15 years on the front lines of one of the most remarkable wildlife recovery stories of the modern era: the reintroduction of the Przewalski horse, the last true wild horse species on Earth, which had gone completely extinct in the wild by the 1960s. Nara shares what it took to bring that species back, why conservation fails without economic buy-in from local communities, and how nomadic herder families — who work sunrise to sunset in -40°C winters — are now facing their greatest threat yet: accelerating climate change. In this conversation: * How the Przewalski horse went from Extinct in the Wild to Endangered over 30 years * Why the conservation project only succeeded when herders gained alternative income through ecotourism * What daily life looks like for Mongolia's nomadic communities and how each season shapes their survival * The challenge of being a woman leading conservation in a remote, physically demanding field * Why nature-based careers are among the fastest growing globally over the next decade Nara's story is about resilience — in wildlife, in culture, and in the people who refuse to let either disappear.
