Clémentine Mutilloda doctoral student atIMBEwill present a Midiscience on 11 April 2024 on the theme : "Is the grass always greener elsewhere? The effects of the return of wild horses (Equus ferus przewalski) to the Mongolian steppe".
"In 2004 and 2005, Przewalski's horses - considered to be the last wild horse in the world - were reintroduced into their original area, the steppes of Mongolia, in an enclosed reserve covering 14,000 ha. Following initial monitoring of the flora inside and outside this reserve in 2010, a second field campaign was carried out in 2023, as part of C. Mutillod's thesis, thanks to Avignon University, the Société Française d'Écologie et d'Évolution, the Khomyn Talyn Takhi association and the Association Takh. Here's a look back at the two months spent on site, between scientific surveys and naturalist and cultural discoveries.
Clémentine Mutillod is currently in her 3rdᵉ year of a PhD in ecology on the subject of "Restoring or rewilding ecosystems? The case of the dry grasslands of the Causse Méjean".
