Stop the Helicopters: Contact Your Representative Now
The roundups only began a month ago and yet, they have already resulted in thousands of mustangs being removed from public lands and dozens of deaths. But we have the power to change this. Congress Members Dina Titus (D-NV), David Schweikert (R-AZ) and Steve Cohen have introduced the Wild Horses and Burros Protect Act (H.R. 3656) to ban the use of helicopters in wild horse management! Please contact your member of Congress right now and urge them to support this critical piece of legislation.

Spotlight: Tandin and the Cedar Mountain Herd
Photo by Tandin Chapman
Tandin Chapman was working as a civil engineer in Salt Lake City when he got the bug. It was October 2020, and he had just seen wild horses for the very first time: a band of mustangs from the Onaqui Mountain Herd in the west desert of Utah. Now, Tandin is AWHC’s Utah Conservation Manager, documenting and darting herds, progressing conservation efforts across the state, and working with the BLM, other field specialists, ranchers and private landowners in wild horse areas. Learn more about his work, and the incredible experience of tracking one of the West’s most elusive wild horse herds.
