BLM Advisory Board Meetings: Insights and Updates

The Bureau of Land Management’s National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board is a citizen advisory group that provides input and advice to the BLM as it carries out its responsibilities under the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. The Board is supposed to represent multiple interest groups and the public, but in reality, it is heavily stacked with pro-livestock and hunting interests. American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign) has been attending Advisory Board Meetings regularly and has filed Eyewitness Reports that document this board's biased approach to recommendations regarding the management, protection, and control of wild horses and burros on Western public rangelands.
