Remember the Burros

”Of the many species threatened by human depredation, few are as misunderstood and dismissed as the donkey.  Also known as burros on public lands in the US and south of the border, they’ve long served as farm workers, livestock guardians, haulers, backcountry packers, companion animals, healers of the land. Their light footprint and capacity for giving is unsurpassed. Centuries ago, they were buried with kings. Today humans bound to special interests are hounding these gentle animals out of existence.”

Co-authors are Charlotte Roe, a retired foreign service officer and science advisor to The Cloud Foundation, and Laurie Ford, a wildlife photographer and burro expert for several non-profit organizations.

Both are longtime wild equid guardians.
