A resolution designating the week beginning on October 12, 2025, as "National Wildlife Refuge Week".

The Senate designated the week of October 12, 2025 as National Wildlife Refuge Week. The resolution celebrates the National Wildlife Refuge System's 573 refuges spanning more than 850 million acres across every state and territory, supporting 800 bird species, 380 threatened or endangered species, and nearly 71 million annual visits that generate $3.2 billion for local economies. It highlights the system's origins with Pelican Island in 1903, the role of refuges in flood protection and wildfire risk reduction, and the importance of partnerships with Tribal nations for co-stewardship of these lands.
