Learn more about “Wildlife Monitoring Programs”

Wildlife Monitoring Programs are essential initiatives aimed at tracking and managing wild horse populations in their natural habitats. The American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) employs innovative techniques, such as remote darting and comprehensive databases, to monitor the health and dynamics of wild herds. These programs not only help in administering humane fertility control measures, like the PZP vaccine, but also ensure that the populations remain balanced with their ecosystems. By documenting individual horses and their behaviors, AWHC can effectively manage populations, reduce human-wildlife conflicts, and advocate for the preservation of these iconic animals. Through community involvement and scientific methods, these programs exemplify a commitment to keeping wild horses wild.
