SRES 454 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution expressing support for the designation of the week of October 24, 2025, to October 31, 2025, as "Bat Week".

This resolution (SRES 454) expresses Senate support for designating October 24-31, 2025, as "Bat Week" to raise public awareness about bats' ecological and economic value. It highlights bats' role in controlling insect pests (saving U.S. farmers over $3.7 billion annually), pollinating crops, and maintaining healthy ecosystems, while acknowledging threats like white-nose syndrome. The resolution encourages public events during Bat Week and commits the Senate to continuing conservation efforts for bats and combating the disease. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but aims to foster public engagement with bat conservation.
