Requires Theodore Roosevelt National Park to keep at least 150 wild horses, protecting their herd.
This bill would make sure a herd of at least 150 wild horses stays in the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It would require the park service to create a plan to manage these horses and limit when they can be removed. The public would also get yearly updates on the herd's health.
Today, the law for Theodore Roosevelt National Park does not specifically require a wild horse herd to be maintained, nor does it set a minimum population or require a management plan for them. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of the Interior would be required to maintain a genetically diverse herd of at least 150 horses in the South Unit of the park. A management plan would need to be developed within 120 days, strict rules would apply to horse removals, and annual monitoring results would be shared with the public.
