The American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign) and the Animal Welfare Institute have provided their comments on the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Wild Horse and Burro Review Provisional Panel. This review is crucial for the humane management of wild horses and burros on public lands.

The NAS panel is tasked with evaluating the current management practices and suggesting improvements to ensure the welfare of these iconic animals. The AWHC and AWI emphasize the importance of science-based approaches and humane treatment in their feedback.

By engaging with the NAS review, AWHC and AWI aim to influence policies that protect wild horses and burros while maintaining ecological balance on public lands. Their comments reflect a commitment to preserving the natural heritage and promoting ethical management practices.
