While much remains uncertain about how this legislation will influence individual and corporate giving, we anticipate that its provisions will introduce additional layers… The post How the “Big Beautiful Bill” Will Impact Individual Giving and Employer-Sponsored Workplace Giving Programs appeared first on America's Charities.

House Appropriators Again Reject Wild Horse Slaughter in Funding Bill aalberg Mon, 07/14/2025 - 17:17 photo by Terri Cage July 14, 2025 Language prohibits slaughter, rejects mass equine transfers to foreign governments, and affirms congressional oversight of the BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Program Washington, DC—Today, the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) and American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC) commend the US House Committee on Appropriations for advancing bipartisan language in its fiscal year 2026 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies funding bill that continues to prohibit the slaughter of wild horses and burros. The organizations are now urging the full committee to join 100 bipartisan members of Congress in directing the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to prioritize humane fertility control as an alternative to the costly and inhumane roundup-and-removal system. The committee is scheduled to mark up the bill later this week.The committee rejected the president’s recent budget request, which notably failed to include longstanding prohibitions on lethal management and commercial slaughter of federally protected wild horses and burros. This omission signaled a potentially dangerous shift in federal policy and sparked widespread public opposition. The budget’s proposed language would have also allowed for the large-scale transfer of wild horses and burros to foreign countries such as Canada and Mexico, where horse slaughter facilities continue to operate.The House bill appropriates $144 million for the BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Program and rejects efforts to allow the BLM to transfer animals outside the public eye. Horse transfers will be limited to federal, state, or local agencies for use as work animals, and prohibitions remain in place against the destruction of healthy horses and burros or their sale for slaughter.“We applaud the House Appropriations Committee for including provisions in the FY26 Interior bill that bar the slaughter and lethal control of wild horses and burros,” said Joanna Grossman, Ph.D., equine program director for AWI. “These longstanding protections, which had been removed in the administration’s proposed budget, reflect the will of the American people who want to see these iconic animals protected, not butchered at slaughter plants. This bill makes it clear—America’s mustangs don’t belong on anyone’s dinner plate.”“The House bill reaffirms congressional intent to prohibit slaughter and reflects the values of the American people,” said Suzanne Roy, executive director of AWHC. “We especially commend Rep. Juan Ciscomani for his leadership in making clear that mass killing is not the answer to federal mismanagement of our nation’s wild horses and burros.”AWI and AWHC have been advocating an expansion of humane fertility control funding within the BLM’s budget. Despite previous congressional directives, the BLM has allocated less than 4% of its budget to humane fertility control, opting instead to continue business as usual. AWHC’s fertility control program on Nevada’s Virginia Range near Reno served as the foundation for a peer-reviewed scientific study confirming the effectiveness of fertility control in managing large wild horse populations across vast, rugged habitats. Over the past five years, AWHC’s fertility control programs in both state-managed and federal herds have delivered more than 10,000 treatments—more than twice the number administered by the BLM during the same period—demonstrating the scalability and effectiveness of humane, on-range wild horse management.The House bill’s release coincides with the introduction of the Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act of 2025, led by Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) and co-sponsored by Reps. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) and Steve Cohen (D-TN), all of whom are co-chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Wild Horse Caucus. The bill would phase out helicopter roundups over two years and require cameras on helicopters to improve public oversight. In June, the co-chairs of the Wild Horse Caucus and Animal Protection Caucus wrote to House and Senate Appropriations Committee leadership, urging them to maintain prohibitions against slaughter and lethal control.The House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee will hold its markup hearing on the bill tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET. The timing coincides with the BLM’s launch of a large-scale helicopter roundup in Wyoming’s Adobe Town Herd Management Area, which will add over 1,600 wild horses to the 62,000 wild horses and burros currently confined in BLM’s holding facility.

With complex, sprawling ranges across the high mountains of South and Central Asia and low population densities, snow leopards are an elusive species. Over the last decade, however, urban centers and communities surrounding their habitats have become increasingly connected, with many more investments in infrastructure on the horizon. How can new linear infrastructure—including roads, railways, and power lines—meet human needs while protecting snow leopards, their prey, and the fragile ecosystems they depend on to survive?  The Global Snow Leopard and Ecosystem Protection Program (GSLEP), an alliance of the 12 countries comprising the snow leopard’s range, formed a working group of scientists and conservationists to create guidance for how infrastructure development can integrate protections for these big cats. Led by the International Snow Leopard Trust, WWF, and the Center for Large Landscape Conservation, the working group presented a guidance document, Guiding the Future of Linear Infrastructure Development in Snow Leopard Landscapes, at the 9th GSLEP Steering Committee Meeting in Cholpon Ata, Kyrgyz Republic, in June 2025, attended by environment ministers or their representatives.   The document provides initial recommendations for how snow leopard range country governments can use avoidance and mitigation techniques to address the impacts of infrastructure development, building on a policy advisory released at the GSLEP Steering Committee Meeting last year. The recommendations reduce risks to local communities, wildlife and ecosystems, and even the infrastructure itself. The document also identifies knowledge gaps that require additional research—for example, understanding what structures and conditions would work for snow leopards and using experimental and field-based studies to design effective and context-specific mitigation measures.  Documented by a camera trap, a snow leopard walks next to a road in Pakistan. © WWF-Pakistan / Gilgit-Baltistan Parks and Wildlife Department How is infrastructure impacting snow leopard habitat? Infrastructure serves as the backbone of our societies, delivering basic necessities like the roads we travel on and the electricity that powers our homes and livelihoods. However, linear infrastructure poses an array of threats to snow leopards. Habitat fragmentation, illegal hunting and trade, wildlife-vehicle collisions, and other forms of human-wildlife conflict—along with the introduction of feral dogs, pathogens, and pollutants—are some of the ways in which roads, rail, fencing, and other forms of linear infrastructure cause landscape-level changes that lead to major environmental disturbances. Climate change exacerbates these threats, putting linear infrastructure projects at high ecological and economic risk.   To avoid causing significant problems for biodiversity, particularly wildlife, and harming the communities it is intended to serve, the coming wave of development must be built sustainably and strategically. It must also integrate the values, knowledge, and perspectives of Indigenous peoples and local communities—who are often the people most affected by this development—while being sensitive to sites of cultural importance.   The new guidance is a crucial step in helping policymakers, engineers, and conservationists address the threats to the magnificent snow leopard as the demand for new infrastructure spreads across their habitat. As an umbrella species, snow leopards are an indicator of the health and stability of their ecosystems. Protecting these big cats also protects the region’s biodiversity and natural services—like clean air and water—for local communities and people across the globe.  Impacts of the main forms of linear infrastructure found in snow leopard landscapes. What’s in the guidance?  The guidance describes initial strategies and interventions at each stage of the infrastructure project lifecycle to implement the mitigation hierarchy—a four-step framework to avoid, manage, and reduce negative environmental impacts and protect and promote biodiversity and ecosystem health. The goal is to establish practices that avoid areas of high snow leopard use and value; mitigate the impact of linear infrastructure where avoidance is not possible or existing structures impede the natural flows of ecosystems; and restore habitats where development has caused disruptions. The recommendations also include maintaining the needs and values of local communities and environmental sustainability at the center of decision-making during infrastructure projects and establishing long-term monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of the measures.  The steps of the mitigation hierarchy. Different institutions depict the mitigation hierarchy in different ways, but the underlying principles are fewer negative actions and more positive actions. The document also identifies knowledge gaps that should be addressed in future work. These include mapping all forms of linear infrastructure across snow leopard ranges and establishing stronger baseline data on snow leopard movement and habitat corridors.     By engaging decision-makers and practitioners from all sectors involved in infrastructure development in snow leopard range countries, these measures and future research will not only protect snow leopards and their prey but also support the human communities living in snow leopard ranges and preserve ecosystem services essential to people all over the world.   This article was originally published on worldwildlife.org.   Read the guidelines here.

Federal Appeals Court Reins in BLM Wild Horse Wyoming Eradication Plan aalberg Tue, 07/15/2025 - 14:13 photo by Elizabeth Boehm/Danita Delimont July 15, 2025 Denver—After 14 years of litigation, the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI), American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC), Western Watersheds Project, and their allies have secured a legal victory that delivers a major setback to the largest attempted eradication of wild horses in US history.In a significant ruling issued today, the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit found serious legal failings in a plan by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to eliminate wild horses from more than 2 million acres of public lands in Wyoming—home to the iconic Adobe Town, Salt Wells Creek, and Great Divide Basin herds. The court held that the BLM acted arbitrarily and capriciously in adopting its plan, violating federal law by failing to consider a core requirement of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act: managing wild horses and burros as part of a thriving natural ecological balance on public lands.“This ruling sends a clear message: The Bureau of Land Management cannot simply erase wild horses from the landscape because they pose an inconvenience to the agency,” said Joanna Grossman, Ph.D., equine program director for AWI. “These animals are federally protected and must be managed humanely, not eliminated. The court’s decision upholds a key tenet of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, setting a strong precedent for the protection of wild herds across the West.” “This is a significant win for America’s wild horses and a meaningful check on BLM overreach,” said Suzanne Roy, executive director of AWHC. “The court has made clear that the BLM cannot sidestep the law to appease special interests and eliminate wild horses from their rightful habitat. Wild horses are meant to roam free, not be rounded up and erased from the landscape. We remain committed to fighting for the future of Wyoming’s iconic wild horse herds.”  “Public lands are suffering not from wild horses, but from the industrial livestock lobby’s corrosive influence. The BLM removes protected mustangs only to make room for cattle and sheep—subsidized at rock bottom fees—while ignoring the real ecological damage wrought by these domestic herds,” said Erik Molvar, executive director of the Western Watersheds Project. “This ruling demands accountability and exposes who’s truly driving degradation on the range.” The case challenged a BLM Resource Management Plan (RMP) amendment that would have eradicated wild horses from two Herd Management Areas (HMAs) by changing their status to Herd Areas (HAs) with population targets of zero and slashed the population in a third HMA by over half. In planning documents, the BLM repeatedly acknowledged that areas under consideration for its management plan contained adequate forage, water, space, and other resources to sustain wild horse herds and maintain a thriving natural ecological balance. The court found that the agency acted arbitrarily and capriciously by failing to assess whether its decision was consistent with ecological balance—a central mandate of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act.The ruling states that the BLM cannot “use the RMP process to skirt its Wild Horse Act obligations.” But it also leaves room for the BLM to attempt to revise and potentially reinstate its plan, underscoring the need for continued oversight and advocacy.The lawsuit was brought by AWI, AWHC, Western Watersheds Project, wildlife photographers Carol Walker and Kimerlee Curyl, and sociologist and author Chad Hanson. They are represented by the public interest law firm Eubanks & Associates, PLLC. Two other wild horse protection organizations each filed separate lawsuits in the case. A history of litigation for the Checkerboard horses can be found here.

In the wild, very little is known about snow leopard birth rates, litter size and survival rates. Understanding this reproductive data is crucial for determining whether populations can sustain themselves through various environmental pressures and fluctuations. For example, what are the chances that a snow leopard population will be able to persist if some individuals are lost to disease, poaching or a decline in prey populations?  Given these knowledge gaps, the opportunity to document wild cubs in their den is invaluable to science and conservation strategies. Snow Leopard Trust Senior Scientist Dr. Örjan Johansson explains why we visit den sites of GPS-collared cats and what happens during the process: We primarily use motion-activated camera traps to quantify litter size and cub survival. However, cubs don’t start accompanying their mothers regularly until they’re about five months old, which means we rarely observe them in our cameras before this age. We can calculate survival rates between 6 months and 18 months of age, since cubs stay with their mothers for 20-22 months. But the only way to assess litter size, survival rates from birth to 6 months, or whether any litters are lost at a young age (before 6 months) is by visiting dens to count the cubs directly. Cub survival in other large cats can be rather low in the first months of life. For example, common leopards can lose more than 50% of their cubs before 4 months of age due to infanticide. We believe snow leopards differ from other big cats in that infanticide appears to be very rare. To confirm this, we need to estimate cub survival from birth or soon after. Unlike other big cats, snow leopard mating is highly seasonal and only occurs from January to March. After a three-month gestation period, cubs are born between April and June. In the days before giving birth, females may restrict their movements somewhat, perhaps while searching for a den site or because they’re too heavy to hunt effectively in steep terrain. Snow leopards appear to select caves in terrain that’s too steep for wolves but not so steep that cubs will fall when they start walking. However, there doesn’t seem to be a fixed rule for what makes an ideal den, and perhaps any sheltered location will work. When the female is in the den, the ‘roof’ prevents the GPS collar from communicating with the satellites, which means that for us, the female ‘disappears’ when she gives birth and in the following days of intensive nursing. We check locations of our collared females more or less every day during the denning period to detect any sign of denning as early as possible. Ideally, we want to visit the cubs when they are roughly three weeks old. At that age, they are fairly big (1.5-2 kg), the bond between mother and cubs is fully developed and yet the cubs are not large enough to crawl/walk and hide when they hear us approaching the den. Within a few days of giving birth, the female starts leaving her cubs in the den and going out to hunt for prey. When we plot the GPS locations from her collar and connect them with lines, a pattern similar to a bicycle wheel emerges—with the den as the hub and the spokes showing her movements back and forth between kill sites and the den. This makes it relatively easy to identify the general area where the den is located, though pinpointing the exact location can be challenging since we don’t receive GPS signals when the female is inside the den. This summer, F12 gave birth on June 1 and F19 gave birth on June 11. We were fortunate this year to receive many GPS locations concentrated in a small area for both females, allowing us to narrow down potential den locations to approximately 30 x 30 meters for each site. On our first day in Tost, we planned to find observation points far enough from the dens to pick up radio signals from the females’ collars without disturbing them. This would help us determine whether they were in the dens or away hunting. We obviously need to wait for them to leave before we can safely approach the den sites. We drove to F12’s area first. Despite listening from locations where we should have picked up signals, we couldn’t detect her, so we hiked closer. When we were 400 meters away from the den and still receiving no radio signals, we concluded she was away.  Once we found the den, we gently collected the cubs and placed them in a burlap bag—they typically relax and stay calm when it’s dark and they’re together. F12 had two cubs, a male and a female, both weighing 1.8 kg and in good health at 28 days old. Besides counting, weighing, and determining sex, we collect saliva swabs for DNA analysis and insert tiny microchips under the skin that enable us to identify them if we capture them years later as adults for collaring purposes. The tagging only takes a few minutes and we try to disturb as little as possible. Click to view slideshow. After finishing at F12’s den, we drove to F19’s location to listen for signals. She was also away, but we decided not to enter because it was getting late and the VHF equipment would shut down 50 minutes after we arrived. Using range finders and a compass, we assessed the bearing and distance to the suspected den and got a good look at the area, identifying three possible caves.  Up until this point, F19 had been leaving the den during daytime for the past four days, feeding on a huge 13-year-old ibex male that one of our other collared snow leopards, M24 Angarag, had killed on June 23rd. F19 found him at the kill site two days later, and they fed together for three days. (M24 is relatively young and unlikely to be the father of these cubs. The similarly-sized F19 probably took advantage of an easy meal near her den and may not have given the younger male much choice about sharing.) This map shows the movements of F19 for a month and M24 during the time they both visited the ibex kill. Lines connect consecutive locations and do not depict exact travel routes. We don’t receive locations when the female is in the den, which is why you don’t see lines going to and from the den. (This map does not contain any identifying features that could lead to the discovery of the den site.) For the following three days, she remained in her den, so we didn’t approach. But on July 3rd, F19 was away when we arrived at our listening site. We found the suspected den area, which was considerably steeper and higher up than F12’s location. Her three cubs were in a cave—two males and one female—all weighing 1.7 kg and appearing to be in good health. Following our visits, we confirmed that both females returned to their dens and continued using them. We always monitor the sites afterward to ensure our careful methodology preserves normal denning behavior patterns. (Note: We do not disclose their locations or provide maps that could be used to identify where the dens are located.) In a world where snow leopards face mounting threats from illegal hunting, climate change, habitat loss, and retaliatory killing for livestock predation, every snow leopard cub born in the wild matters. These are only the 6th and 7th den visits of wild snow leopard cubs since our long-term study launched in 2008 (all of them in Tost, Mongolia). Indeed, they are the only den visits scientists have ever documented worldwide. Data from these rare encounters is vital for understanding snow leopard ecology and making informed conservation decisions to secure their future.

“Ungulate” comes from Latin and simply describes mammals with hooves. Ibex, gazelles, camels and musk deer are all ungulates found in snow leopard range. Our researchers have identified three of these ungulates as the most crucial prey for snow leopards: ibex, argali and bharal. These majestic, mountain-dwelling goat and sheep species are often referred to as mountain monarchs and are characterized by their herbivorous diets, cloven hooves, and large horns. Click to view slideshow. Studying mountain ungulates is a critical component of protecting snow leopards, as these hoofed (hooved?) animals are the primary prey across their range. A healthy population of wild ungulates is one of the most critical signs that a given area can support a stable population of snow leopards. While they may not seem as glamorous as a magnificent big cat, these unassuming mammals are a favorite among many of our scientists and researchers and are an important part of the landscape and human history.  In the entire animal world, if there is one group of animals that most significantly impacted the course of human civilization, it is perhaps these largely unsung denizens of the high mountains. They fundamentally restructured ancient human societies and set them off on the path that defined who we are today. – Charu Mishra, Executive Director That’s quite the praise for sheep and goats! However, with billions of people around the world, both today and throughout history, dependent on livestock for their livelihood, we believe it’s justified.

Summer 2025: The days we went to our school camp were the most interesting and unforgettable. The camp was located in the mountains, in a quiet area with tall junipers and clean air, a place where you can relax your soul. One morning, several students and our camp leader went on a hiking trip to the mountains. The sun was warm, the sky was clear, and the sounds of deer, marmots, and birds were lively; the surrounding air smelled of nature. As we stopped along the way for a drink and admired the nature, our leader said to us: Children, there are rare animals here, the most valuable of which is a snow leopard. It is a great happiness to see it! We all looked with interest and hope and continued on our way. After walking a long way, we came to a large rock and something unexpected happened. Farther away, on a high rock, stood a large, beautiful animal with white fur glistening. It noticed us, but looked at us calmly and without fear. Our guide whispered: It’s a snow leopard!  Click to view slideshow. We all stood there breathless, staring. The leopard was very beautiful, with a large, strong body, a long tail, and deep, intelligent eyes. It looked at us for a long time, then slowly turned around, jumped between the stones and disappeared. We will remember this day for our entire lives. Our guide explained to us: It is rare to see a snow leopard in the wild. This is a gift from nature to us! After that day, we deeply understood that we must always remember the snow leopard, protect it, and preserve nature. This event became the greatest memory of the camp. We asked the students what they enjoyed about their time at camp, if they think coexistence with wildlife is possible and how they define nature.
