Engaging in Future Wild Horse and Burro Management “Big Enough” Options
Wrapping up the day of presentations on horse and burro policy, ecological and economic impacts, and behavior research, this session will offer thought provoking ideas for effective management options and consequences of each option. It will focus on those solutions “big enough” to have real impact on reducing the number of excess horses (92,000+), which options need to come first, who has the authority to “make it happen”, and how will you help move that option forward.
