Please join us in the preservation of North America's Wild Horses.  

Wild Horse Fire Brigade is the name of our nonprofit and also that of our Nature-Based solution for the plight of American wild horses. In its essence the Plan is very simple; rewild and relocate wild horses away-from areas of conflict (with livestock, mining, and gas industries) and confinement and locate them into wilderness areas where they benefit flora and fauna as they reduce and maintain grass and brush wildfire fuels.

Wild Horse Fire Brigade (WHFB) helps mitigate wildfire and toxic smoke by restoring native wild horses as keystone herbivores into privately-owned and public wilderness areas where they reduce and maintain grass and brush wildfire fuels to nominal natural levels.  

Prior to the arrival of Columbus in 1492, scientists estimate there were as many as 50-million bison, 20-million wild horses and approximately 100-million cervids (deer, elk, pronghorn, etc.) on the North American landscape. Today, we find these large-bodied herbivore populations have been decimated via mismanagement and human meddling. Extensively published scientific studies show that this collapsed herbivore (loss of large herbivores) results in abnormally excessive grass and brush wildfire fuels. The same published scientific research shows that on every continent, when the herbivory collapsed, catastrophic wildfires evolved. (See our 'Resources' page for links to the published science)
