DescDriving Change Through Awareness and Empowerment: Advocacy/Education AWHC is the leading voice for wild horse and burro protection in America. In 2017, we were included in media stories -- including features on ABC and CBS News and HBO Vice -- an average of ten times per month, raising awareness about the plight of our mustangs and generating the public support necessary to save them. Our high profile social media campaign "I'm With the Band" recruited major celebrities and thousands of citizens nationwide to the cause of wild horse protection, and spread the word over social media with high quality graphics and videos. We also empower our supporters to speak up by creating easy-to-use action alerts that generated hundreds of thousands of calls, letters, emails and petition signatures in defense of mustangs in 2017. We are the only organization in the U.S. that ran television commercials and rented billboards in key areas educating people about the dangers facing wild horses and inspiring people to speak up to protect them.Desc

DescStopping Mass Slaughter and Protecting History: Grassroots and Government AdvocacyAWHC continues to be the line that stands between our wild horses and burros and mass destruction. Our no-holds-barred grassroots campaign played a key role in stopping the Interior Department from implementing a policy of mass killing and slaughter that would have resulted in the destruction of as many as 90,000 wild horses and burros in holding facilities and on the range. Our work ensured that the voice of the American people - 80 percent of whom oppose slaughter and want wild horses and burros protected on our public lands -- was heard by Congress and government policy makers.Desc

DescLegal Precedents for Protection: Litigation Our expert legal team continued to accumulate precedent setting wins in 2017, including an Idaho lower court decision affirming the Bureau of Land Managements (BLMs) legal mandate to manage wild horse in self sustaining herds and protect their natural behaviors. We also scored two appellate court victories: The Ninth Circuit granted our motion to dismiss a livestock industry lawsuit seeking the roundup and slaughter of thousands of wild horses and burros, while the DC Circuit vacated a U.S. Forest Service decision to shrink the size of Californias largest and most significant Wild Horse Territory. Our legal efforts provided a critical defense for wild horses and burros in the West against efforts by the government and special interests to destroy these iconic animals and reduce their habitat.Desc

ExplanationWithin the bounds of our lobbying restrictions as a 501(c)3, we mobilized a campaign to educate legislators and their constituents about the impacts of granting the Interior Department's request to lift current prohibitions on mass killing and slaughter of wild horses and burros, on the range and in holding facilities. We helped ensure that the voice of the public was heard and that protections for wild horses and burros were maintained. At the state level, we helped facilitate the official enactment of protections for the cherished Salt River Wild Horses in the Tonto National Forest outside Phoenix.ExplanationTxt

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Providing Accountability - (Roundup Observation, Conferences/Meetings/Field Tours)America's wild horses exist in remote areas of the west, out of the view of the majority of Americans. As a result, inhumane wild horse roundups often go unseen. AWHC is committed to providing transparency to this federal program and its front line actions. In 2017, the AWHC team documented six major helicopter roundups of wild horses in four Western States, distributing broadcast quality videos and reports from the front lines that reached millions worldwide via social media. We also attend all key public events and tours conducted by the BLM to bring the voice of the people to the agency and to challenge agency officials on inhumane and wasteful management practices. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Supporting Communities; Saving Local Herds (Field programs)We work closely with our local coalition partners in key areas of the West to protect and humanely manage local herds and our strategic, technical and financial support has allowed communities to preserve and protect numerous wild horse herds, including the Salt River wild horses in Arizona and the Fish Springs and Virginia Range wild horses in Nevada. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Saving Lives (Rescue) - While the primary focus of AWHC's work is keeping wild horses wild, we are called upon to help horses and burros who are no longer free. In 2017, we provided assistance to over 200 horses in need, including 22 Virginia Range mustangs rescued under a Cooperative Agreement between AWHC and the State of Nevada. AWHC has been able to provide an important safety net to local groups and citizens to rescue horses in need and prevent them from entering the slaughter pipeline.
