North Dakota Lawmakers Push for Federal Protections for Teddy Roosevelt National Park’s Wild Horses

North Dakota lawmakers are stepping up to protect a treasured symbol of the state’s heritage. The Legislature has approved a resolution urging Congress to establish federal protections for the wild horses at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Supporters argue that the nearly 200 horses are not just a tourist attraction but also a vital part of the state’s identity. With bipartisan support and no opposition in the Senate, the resolution now heads to federal officials, where advocates hope it will lead to lasting protections for the herd.
