Learn more about “Public Lands”
Public lands are vital to the conservation of America's wild horses and burros, providing essential habitats for these iconic animals. Managed primarily by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), these lands face pressures from livestock grazing, which often prioritizes commercial interests over ecological balance. The American Wild Horse Conservation advocates for the protection of these lands, emphasizing that wild horses are not the primary threat to rangeland health, as often claimed. Instead, they coexist with livestock on a mere fraction of the available land. Understanding the dynamics of public lands is crucial for effective conservation efforts and ensuring that wild horses can thrive in their natural habitats.
