Chairman Calvert's Letter to BLM on 2017 Appropriations
In 2017, Chairman Ken Calvert addressed a critical letter to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) concerning the appropriations for wild horse and burro management. This letter highlighted significant issues and proposed solutions to improve the management and protection of these iconic animals on public lands.
The American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign) has been at the forefront of advocating for humane, in-the-wild management of wild horses and burros. Chairman Calvert's letter aligns with these efforts, emphasizing the need for responsible stewardship and adequate funding to ensure the well-being of these animals.
As the BLM navigates the complexities of managing wild horse populations, the insights and recommendations from Chairman Calvert's letter remain relevant. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges and the importance of continued advocacy and support for wild horse conservation.
