Learn more about Litigation

Litigation is a crucial aspect of the American Wild Horse Conservation's efforts to protect wild horses and burros from harmful government actions. The American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) actively engages in legal battles to uphold the Wild Free-Roaming Wild Horses and Burros Act of 1971, ensuring these iconic animals are preserved as national treasures. AWHC collaborates with various partners, including NGOs and legal experts, to challenge unjust policies and practices that threaten wild horse populations. Through strategic litigation, AWHC has set important legal precedents, affirming the Bureau of Land Management's responsibility to manage wild horses without resorting to mass roundups or removals, thereby advocating for humane and sustainable management practices.
