You can make a difference
and help improve management 
of our wild horses and burros

We need your help to improve the management of western rangelands in order to ensure that wild horse and burro populations reach a sustainable level in the years to come. This will allow wild horse and burro populations to live healthier lives, and allow habitats to be restored and native wildlife the ability survive. However, this future is not possible without immediate action.
