## Summary

**Endangered Species Day** would be designated for May 16, 2025, and the resolution affirms the intrinsic value of plants and wildlife and the continued importance of the Endangered Species Act in addressing the biodiversity crisis. It notes more than 2,300 species are at risk, says many scientists describe this as a sixth mass extinction, credits the Act with preventing the extinction of 99 percent of listed species including the bald eagle and whooping crane, highlights Tribal and Indigenous roles in recovery, and says species recovery supports wildlife tourism and millions of American jobs.
