Your ability to speak effectively for wild horses is based on the information you have. It is critical to understand the threats to the information available to the public.

“Information is Power” is a 5 part series that delves into the process of gathering accurate information on matters associated with wild horse and burro management by federal agencies. This series also addresses the challenges and the threats.

Your voice is extremely important as an advocate. Your voice includes your ability to engage on issues of national importance, your ability to litigate grievances and you ability to vote. Public Voice is a multi section piece that is an overview on ways in which your voice is important to wild horses.

The piece is on our new web portal that we are expanding and can be read HERE.
