Protection and Management of Wild Horses and Burros on Public Lands

Wild horses and burros are iconic symbols of the American West, roaming freely across public lands. Their protection and management are crucial to maintaining ecological balance and preserving their natural habitats. The American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign) advocates for humane treatment and sustainable management practices to ensure these majestic animals thrive.

Effective management strategies include population control through fertility control programs, habitat preservation, and public education on the importance of wild horses and burros. These measures help prevent overpopulation, reduce conflicts with human activities, and promote coexistence with other wildlife.

Public lands offer a unique opportunity to observe and appreciate wild horses and burros in their natural environment. By supporting conservation efforts, we can ensure that future generations will continue to enjoy these magnificent creatures.
