Learn more about “In the Wild”

The 'In the Wild' initiative by American Wild Horse Conservation focuses on the humane management and protection of wild horses and burros in their natural habitats. This program emphasizes the importance of observing and understanding the challenges these iconic animals face in the wild, advocating for solutions like the world's largest fertility control program in Nevada's Virginia Range. By employing scientifically-backed methods such as remote darting for birth control, AWHC aims to maintain healthy wild horse populations without resorting to inhumane roundups. This approach not only preserves the wild herds but also fosters a deeper connection between the public and these majestic creatures, ensuring their freedom for generations to come.
