The Importance of DOCUMENTING ROUNDUPS

Discover why thorough documentation is vital for the protection of wild horses and burros.

Documentation Drives Accountability

Roundups often occur in remote, inaccessible areas, hidden from the public eye. We deploy representatives to observe and document these events, acting as the public's eyes and ears. Our reports aim to hold the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) accountable for its actions and educate the public on the inhumane practices occurring on our public lands.

The Right to Observe

Many Americans remain unaware of the challenges facing wild horses and burros. As citizens, we have the right to observe government actions. By documenting and sharing photos, videos, and written accounts, we keep the public informed. On-site, we evaluate the broader context affecting wild herds, including the influence of commercial interests like livestock ranching and mining on federal policies and management practices.

American Wild Horse Conservation is a national leader in using fertility control to keep Wild Horse populations from increasing to the point where the BLM historically employs roundups and removals. I am beyond grateful for this amazing organization’s leadership and participation, without which the [Colorado] Wild Horse Project would not have come to fruition.

I wanted to get involved with AWHC when I saw videos of wild horses getting rounded up by helicopters. These animals are majestic in the wild; seeing them forced into captivity is heartbreaking and cruel. The government can do better, and I’m looking forward to educating the American public and working to keep wild horses in the wild.

American Wild Horse Conservation is more than a campaign. We are reforming wild horse and burro protection across the American West, expanding protected natural habitats in places like Fish Springs, Nevada, and setting the conservation standard through the world’s leading wild horse fertility control initiative. We have a new model for wild horse protection through conservation.

Executive Director
There are currently 62,000 wild horses and burros in long term holding. This year, the BLM intends to remove an additional 20,000 from public rangelands, with the North Lander animals to account for 14% of those.
