Federal lands refer to public lands managed by government agencies, primarily the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service. These lands are crucial for the conservation of wild horses and burros, as they provide essential habitats for these animals. The management of federal lands involves balancing various interests, including livestock grazing, wildlife conservation, and recreational use. The American Wild Horse Conservation advocates for the protection of wild horses on these lands, highlighting the need for humane management practices that prioritize the well-being of these iconic animals while addressing the challenges posed by livestock grazing and habitat degradation.
