Summary of Bill SRES 851

Bill 118 S.Res. 851, also known as the "National Bison Day" resolution, aims to designate November 2, 2024, as a day to celebrate and honor the iconic American bison. The bill recognizes the historical, cultural, and ecological significance of the bison in the United States.

The American bison, also known as the buffalo, has played a crucial role in the history of the United States, serving as a symbol of strength, resilience, and freedom. Bison were once abundant across the American plains, but their populations were decimated by overhunting and habitat loss in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Thanks to conservation efforts, the bison population has rebounded in recent years, but they still face threats from habitat destruction and climate change.

By designating November 2nd as "National Bison Day," this resolution aims to raise awareness about the importance of bison conservation and to celebrate the cultural and ecological significance of these majestic animals. The bill encourages educational programs, events, and activities to promote the conservation and appreciation of bison. Overall, Bill 118 S.Res. 851 seeks to highlight the importance of preserving the American bison for future generations and to recognize the role that these animals play in our nation's history and heritage.
