Ecotourism plays a vital role in the conservation of America's wild horses and burros, providing unique opportunities for visitors to experience these majestic animals in their natural habitats. Locations such as the Onaqui Mountains in Utah and the Salt River in Arizona attract photographers and wildlife enthusiasts, contributing to local economies through tourism. The American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) advocates for the protection of these herds, emphasizing the importance of ecotourism as a sustainable alternative to harmful management practices like roundups. By promoting responsible wildlife viewing, AWHC aims to raise awareness about the ecological and cultural significance of wild horses, ensuring their preservation for future generations.
