BLM Advisory Board Meetings: A Closer Look

The Bureau of Land Management’s National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board plays a crucial role in advising on the management of wild horses and burros under the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. Despite its intended purpose to represent diverse interests, the board is often criticized for its bias towards pro-livestockand hunting interests. American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign) has been actively participating in these meetings, providing eyewitness reports that highlight the board's skewed recommendations.
