Summary
Bat conservation is the focus of this resolution, which designates Oct. 24–31, 2025 as Bat Week and encourages events that highlight bats' value to nature and people. It notes bats pollinate and disperse seeds, control insect pests and save U.S. farmers about $3.7 billion a year in pest control, warns that white‑nose syndrome has killed millions and spread to 40 states and 12 hibernating species, and highlights multiagency monitoring and response efforts led by the U.S. Geological Survey and Fish and Wildlife Service.
