Jack,
In recent years, wild horse conservation is gaining more and more attention – in part thanks to American Wild Horse Conservation’s (AWHC) efforts to raise awareness about the issues facing our nation’s mustangs and burros.
If we’ve learned one thing as an organization, it’s that once people become aware of the plight of wild horses and burros, they are upset and motivated to take action to protect them.
FUEL OUR AWARENESS EFFORTS [[link removed]]
That’s why we’ve been seriously ramping up our awareness efforts over the past several years. In the last month alone, we’ve placed and been included in 12 impactful stories in the media highlighting the dangers facing wild horses and burros, including the inhumane use of helicopters for roundups, the Adoption Incentive Program (AIP) slaughter pipeline — which is threatening the lives of hundreds of wild horses and burros — and more:

And Jack, we’re translating this awareness into direct action for our wild herds.
Recently, we centered our efforts around three major focuses of our work:
*
Ending
the
AIP
cash
incentive:
we
mobilized
our
supporters
to
call
for
an
end
to
the
AIP,
leading
to
10,000
actions
taken
within
24
hours;
*
Increasing
roundup
transparency:
We
spearheaded
a
campaign
resulting
in
over
50,000
total
letter
submissions
calling
on
the
Bureau
of
Land
Management
(BLM)
to
install
cameras
on
helicopters
used
for
roundups;
*
And
ending
the
donkey
skin
trade
in
the
US:
we
called
on
our
advocates
to
ask
their
representatives
to
cosponsor
the
Ejiao
Act,
resulting
in
over
31,000
total
letters
in
support
of
this
important
bill.
Jack, awareness is the key to bringing about the change our wild horses and burros desperately need. The BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Program holding system is nearing its breaking point, with more than 64,000 horses in captivity and roundup season less than a month away. Time is of the essence as we work to spread the word about more humane alternatives to protect our wild horses in the wild, where they belong. Will you help continue powering AWHC’s awareness work as we fight to keep wild horses and burros wild, Jack? [[link removed]]
