California Desert Conservation Area; Conservation of natural resources; Conservation of natural resources; Wildlife conservation; Wildlife conservation. Twenty-two wild horse and burro areas, some containing both types of animals, were identified within the Desert during the CDCA inventories. Wild horses and burros will be man- aged in 17 areas and removed from the remaining five because of major conflicts with wildlife and other natural resources. An accelerated capture program, to maintain healthy, viable populations, will reduce numbers in the 17 areas to a total of about 280 horses and 2,750 burros. Because of the numbers of burros on the Desert now, and the degree of impacts they are causing, initial management emphasis must be on reduction of burro numbers. Captured animals will be placed with qualified applicants under the Bureau's Adopt-a-Horse Program. When appli- cants are no longer available to "adopt" these animals, they will be humanely disposed of. Six herd management area plans for these 17 areas will be prepared to describe methods to improve the condition of individual animals, maintain stable herd levels, and to provide adequate food, cover, water, and living space. Herds will be monitored constantly to gauge their health, stability, and freedom to roam unfettered by any demands but those imposed by the Desert's 16.
