Jack - Happy Burro Awareness Month!

[link removed] [[link removed]]

In 2013, American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC) started “Burro Awareness Month” to promote awareness and appreciation for the amazing and unique burros who roam America’s Southwest. Wild burros have the same rich history and are as culturally significant as wild horses, but they often receive less attention.

That’s why we believe it’s time we make Burro Awareness Month nationally recognized! If you agree, sign our petition and help spread the word!

Burros were first introduced to the Desert Southwest by the Spaniards in the 1500’s, and served as a reliable companion to explorers and pioneers on their treks throughout the West in the years thereafter.

They worked tirelessly to carry supplies and machinery to mining camps, and became indispensable to the workers. At the end of the mining boom, many burros escaped or were turned loose, and with their innate ability to survive under the harshest conditions, wild herds eventually formed and flourished.

But today, fewer than 15,000 burros are estimated to remain on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Forest Service lands throughout the West. America’s burros are protected under federal law, but they are in crisis due to government mismanagement, which has caused dwindling populations and a concerning lack of genetic diversity. Our goal is to keep burros wild and free on the range through humane management programs and conservation initiatives to ensure healthy populations of wild burros living on our public lands.

Jack, raising awareness is the first step for change. Will you sign our petition today to help make Burro Awareness Month a nationally recognized holiday so we can ensure these incredible animals receive the attention and protection they deserve?
