This resolution expresses support for designating the week of October 24-31, 2025, as "Bat Week" to recognize the critical ecological and economic contributions of bats. It highlights their vital role in natural ecosystems, including controlling insect pests, pollinating plants, and dispersing seeds, which saves United States farmers over $3.7 billion annually in pest control. The resolution acknowledges that bats face significant threats, particularly from white-nose syndrome , a fungal disease causing drastic population declines across 40 states, and notes extensive collaborative efforts by federal agencies and partners to combat this threat. The House of Representatives encourages the observance of Bat Week with appropriate events and activities, affirming its intent to continue working towards bat conservation and defeating white-nose syndrome.
