The estimated population of feral burros in the targeted areas ranges from 100 to 200. Following capture, a non-governmental organization will oversee their removal from the Preserve. A project schedule is to be established post-field tours, ensuring operations comply with wilderness laws and are completed within a year from the award date. Deliverables include a summary report detailing the number of burros captured, their conditions, and recommendations for future operations, due within 14 days after field activities conclude.
