These striped beauties were distributed throughout North Africa. In some chronicles and literary works they appeared only as "tiger horses". Unfortunately, in the 20th century, when mankind suddenly began to count and began to list zebras, the numbers were depressing: from the 1970s to the beginning of the 2000s their population declined from 15,000 to 3.5 ... Today's situation when desert zebras there are two and a half thousand individuals on the whole planet, obviously does not add joy to environmentalists. Continuous political and internecine struggle in African countries does not help ensure that animals are protected, because there are enough problems for the local rulers. The only state that is taking some kind of action to protect the Greve's zebras is Kenya, but for such a huge continent there is not enough effort.
