BLM Public Lands make up 2/3 of Nevada's land base. The state and politicians would like to get their hands on it.
The BLM manages wildlife of all kinds; wild horses and burros are among them in Nevada (there is an adoption program and numbers are kept within supportable limits).

There are 745 grazing allotments, with 550 licensed operators grazing livestock.

Rangeland health, hydrologic function and flora and fauna are kept as much as possible in a balanced system.

The lands are open to the public- fishing, camping, trails, scenic areas and wide open spaces.
