Court cases and legal precedents play a crucial role in shaping wildlife law, particularly in the context of protecting American wild horses. The American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC) has been actively involved in litigation to challenge government actions that threaten these iconic animals. Through strategic lawsuits, AWHC has achieved significant victories, affirming that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cannot prioritize private interests over public lands and has broad discretion in managing wild horse populations. These legal battles not only protect wild horses but also set important precedents that influence future wildlife management policies.
