Wild horses in the American West
Innovative solutions to the unwieldy population of wild horses in the American West
Wild horses have been roaming public lands in the American West for over a century but their population numbers are far greater than what is considered an appropriate management level. This is causing ecological damage and strains on natural resources, in addition to concerns about the horses' health.
This has become a deeply contentious and emotive issue. We drive hundreds of miles across the mountains and plains of Nevada and California, to witness first hand how different stakeholders are putting their differences aside and coming together to find innovative solutions.
