Ecotourism plays a vital role in the conservation of wild horses and burros, promoting sustainable travel experiences that allow visitors to observe these magnificent animals in their natural habitats. The American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC) advocates for the growth of ecotourism opportunities across the United States, highlighting locations such as the Onaqui Mountains in Utah and the Sand Wash Basin in Colorado. By fostering awareness and appreciation for wild horses, ecotourism not only supports local economies but also encourages the protection of these iconic species and their ecosystems. As interest in wild horse viewing increases, it becomes essential to balance tourism with humane management practices to ensure the long-term survival of these herds.
