The National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board, established by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), serves as a citizen advisory group that provides recommendations on the management of wild horses and burros under the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. This board includes representatives from various stakeholder groups, but it has faced criticism for being biased towards livestock interests. The board meets regularly to discuss pressing issues such as overpopulation, management strategies, and the welfare of wild horse herds. Its recommendations can significantly impact the future of America's wild horses, making public engagement and advocacy essential for their protection.
