Project objectives and cultural paleontological resource management

Humane care and training: Our primary commitment is to the humane care and effective training of wild horses and burros, emphasizing their successful and lasting placement in private care settings.

Through compassionate handling and proper training, we equip these animals with the skills needed to thrive in their new environments.

This objective plays a pivotal role in cultural and paleontological resource management by mitigating potential disruptions or damage to historically significant sites and artifacts.

By ensuring responsible and considerate management, we actively contribute to the preservation of cultural and paleontological resources within their natural habitat, fostering a harmonious balance between the welfare of these majestic creatures and the preservation of our shared heritage.

Public awareness and support: Our project seeks to educate the public about the unique qualities of wild horses and burros, fostering a better understanding of these animals and the importance of their ecological role.

This objective indirectly supports cultural and paleontological resource management by increasing public awareness and appreciation of the historical and cultural significance of the areas where these animals roam.

This awareness can lead to greater responsibility for protecting such resources.

Responsible successful placement: Through meticulous coordination of adoptions and sales, our project prioritizes not only the reliable but also the successful, long-term placement of wild horses and burros into private care.

By emphasizing the importance of responsible and enduring relationships between adopters and these remarkable animals, we aim to mitigate the impact of overpopulation on public lands.

This commitment not only safeguards the welfare of the horses and burros but also indirectly contributes to the protection of culturally and historically significant sites from potential damage caused by resource overuse.

Sustainability: Our project aims to support the BLM's mission of ecologically sustainable management.

By assisting in the management and placement of wild horses and burros, our programs contribute to managing the economic balance of the rangelands, preserving the natural environment, and indirectly benefit the paleontological and cultural resources in these ecosystems.
