Once thought to be extinct, the milu deer population in China has made a dramatic recovery. As of November 2021, there were reportedly about 9,000 milu deer living in nature reserves across China. The animals were indigenous to China, but went extinct there around 1900 because of overhunting during times of war and natural disaster. Conservationists started working to bring them back from the brink in 1985, when the species was reintroduced to China from Britain, where a small herd had survived in captivity.
