The wild horses of Letea: First successes for the FOUR PAWS birth control project

Описание: About 500 wild horses live in the forest of Letea, a biosphere reserve and part of the UNESCO World Heritage in the Romanian Danube Delta. For the past few years, their increasing population has presented a growing problem for the vegetation, which lead to the decision of the Romanian authorities, to reduce the number of animals by killing them. FOUR PAWS acted immediately. After several intensive talks and meetings, we were able to stop the killings and develop an action plan for the Romanian wild horses, which in less than a year of its start has been showing the first successes.
