Supporting the designation of May 15, 2026, as "Endangered Species Day".

This resolution formally recognizes May 15, 2026, as Endangered Species Day to honor the success of conservation efforts under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The bill highlights how these laws have helped prevent the extinction of many species and supports the economic and cultural benefits of biodiversity. It acknowledges the role of indigenous communities in conservation and celebrates the recovery of various at-risk plants and wildlife. The measure is symbolic and does not create new laws or funding, but rather expresses support for existing conservation achievements.
