Currently there are only five genetically viable burro herds remaining in the wild. If the current rate of attrition of both habitat and animals is allowed to continue, it will result in the extinction of wild burro herds in the American West.

Facts and figures concerning the relative sizes of burro herds and Big Horn Sheep populations and habitat, unless otherwise stated, are taken from ”Wild Burros of the American West: A Critical Analysis of the National Status of Wild Burros on Public Lands 2006” by C.R. MacDonald
