Passed Senate

Summary

Designates May 10, 2025 as "World Migratory Bird Day" to spotlight and promote conservation of migratory birds. It notes that more than 350 species migrate through North America and that the continent has lost about 3 billion birds in the past 50 years. The resolution names threats such as habitat loss, drought, invasive species, light pollution, collisions, and urban expansion. It highlights the 2025 theme "Shared Spaces: Creating Bird-Friendly Cities and Communities" and encourages education, stewardship, community engagement, and birdwatching. It also recognizes the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and the North American Wetlands Conservation Act for their roles in protecting bird habitat and supporting conservation investments. The text adds economic context that nearly 100 million Americans engage in birdwatching and that related recreation generates about $279 billion in total economic output.
