The American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) is the nation's leading wild horse advocacy organization. We are dedicated to defending America's wild horses and burros by protecting their freedom, preserving their habitat, promoting humane standards of treatment, and securing their future on our western public lands for generations to come as part of our national heritage.We create and implement humane solutions to keep wild horses wild and safe while increasing the public's awareness of, and appreciation for, America's wild herds as part of the ecological and cultural landscape of the American West.AWHC programs address threats that endanger wild horse and burro populations on our public lands. Such threats are presented by government agencies and policies that seek to round up these American heritage animals, remove them from their homes on the range, warehouse and/or sell them for slaughter and, in some cases, eradicate them entirely from our public lands. Our primary focus includes: Education and advocacy, In-the-wild management, legislation and litigation. In addition to protecting the wild horses and burros living on public rangelands in the western states, AWHC serves the majority of Americans who value these national treasures and want to see them preserved and protected as mandated by the unanimously passed Wild Free-Roaming Wild Horses and Burros Act of 1971. The latter includes the 50 coalition partners that join us in our work, as well as individual wild horse and burro advocates, members of the wider equestrian community, photographers and artists, and outdoor recreationists.Only the power of the people can defeat the powerful special interests that want to eradicate and slaughter our remaining wild horses and burros. You can join the work of AWHC to protect them. Visit AmericanWildHorseCampaign.org
