The National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board provides input and advice
to the BLM as it carries out its responsibilities under the 1971 Wild
Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. This law mandates the protection,
management, and control of these free-roaming animals in a manner that
ensures healthy herds at levels consistent with the land’s capacity to
support them. The BLM manages about 37,000 wild horses and burros that
roam BLM-managed rangelands in 10 Western states; the agency also feeds and
cares for more than 35,000 horses and burros that are maintained in
short-term corrals and long-term Midwestern pastures.

The Advisory Board meets at least twice a year and the BLM Director may
call additional meetings when necessary. Members serve without salary, but
are reimbursed for travel and per diem expenses according to government
travel regulations.

The BLM manages more land – 253 million acres – than any other Federal
agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is
primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The Bureau, with
a budget of about $1 billion, also administers 700 million acres of
sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use
mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for
the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau
accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation,
livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by
conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public
lands.
