Our coalition is concerned about the exponentially growing population of wild horses and burros on our nation's rangelands. We believe more can and should be done to protect the rangeland ecosystem from further degradation by horses and burros... The Coalition was formed in 2012 in response to the steadily worsening degradation occurring on portions of our nation's rangelands due to inadequate management of "wild" horse and burro populations. For many years, individual organizations concerned with rangeland health have attempted to influence the federal land management agencies' effectiveness at managing these non-native, congressionally protected animals. When, in 2009, the Secretary of the Interior announced his plans to develop a new horse and burro management plan, these organizations provided individual comments to help improve the program. The Secretary's plan has yet to be finalized and management has yet to improve... The National Horse & Burro Rangeland Management Coalition..
