The ancestral ecosystem of wild horses in Galicia A study by the University of A Coruña warns that the environmental benefits that these equines provide in the Galician mountains will be lost In the last half century the population of wild horses in Galicia has been reduced by half. There is no official census that includes the number of the sinking, but it is the trend observed by the researchers based on the estimate from the 70s, provided in a doctoral thesis. Then there were 22,000 heads, which has now been reduced to 10,000. This colony of bestas (wild horses in Galician) is the most numerous in Spain and Europe, although "if it is not remedied to prevent collapse, it will end up disappearing. Experts argue that these animals can help solve some of the problems arising from the climate emergency, the depopulation of rural areas and the biodiversity crisis.
