Learn more about House of Representatives (United States House of Representatives)

The House of Representatives, a vital component of the U.S. Congress, plays a crucial role in shaping legislation that impacts various sectors, including wildlife conservation. Within the context of the American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC), the House has been instrumental in advocating for the protection of wild horses and burros. Legislative actions taken by members of the House, such as funding decisions and policy amendments, directly influence the management practices of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) regarding these iconic animals. The AWHC actively engages with House representatives to promote humane management strategies, emphasizing the need for scientific approaches like fertility control over inhumane roundups and sterilization methods. This collaboration reflects the broader public sentiment, as a significant majority of Americans support the protection of wild horses.
