Citizen Science Projects at the American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC) empower volunteers to actively participate in the conservation of wild horses and burros. Through initiatives like horse identification, data collection, and habitat monitoring, community members contribute valuable insights that enhance the management of these iconic animals. Volunteers can engage in various roles, such as darters, documenters, and spotters, each playing a crucial part in the humane management of wild horse populations. By harnessing the power of citizen science, AWHC not only fosters a deeper connection between people and wildlife but also promotes effective, science-based strategies for protecting America's wild horses.
