Learn more about Protected Areas

Protected Areas are designated regions that safeguard the natural habitats of wild horses and burros, ensuring their survival and well-being. These areas are crucial for maintaining the ecological balance and preserving the genetic diversity of these iconic animals. The American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC) advocates for the establishment and maintenance of such areas to prevent habitat loss due to human activities like livestock grazing and urban development. By protecting these lands, AWHC aims to create a sustainable environment where wild horses can thrive in their natural settings, free from the threats of overpopulation and mismanagement. This commitment to habitat preservation is essential for the long-term conservation of America's wild horse populations.
