Abstract
  • There are now over 130,000 head of wild horses and burros in the Bureau of Land Management program.

  • Management tools in the original authorizations (Wild Horse and Burro Act; Public Rangelands Improvement Act) have been inhibited or banned by subsequent appropriation riders.

  • The original framework for horse and burro management has been undermined, leading to on-range populations in excess of legally mandated levels.

  • New, creative approaches to horse and burro management are required to bring populations back to legally mandated and ecologically appropriate levels.
