The resolution highlights Faccio's professional achievements, including his 15-year tenure at the Vermont Institute of Natural Science, where he focused on ornithological research, and his co-founding of the Vermont Center for Ecostudies in 2007, where he created the Vermont Vernal Pool Atlas. It acknowledges his academic background with degrees in biology, his involvement with the Vermont Endangered Species Committee's Reptile and Amphibian Scientific Advisory Group since 1994, and his long-standing service on the Strafford Conservation Commission. The resolution also notes his professional accomplishments, such as winning the Wilson Ornithological Society's Edwards Prize in 2005 and publishing extensively in scientific journals and magazines. The document formally recognizes Faccio's lifelong dedication to protecting the natural environment and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Faccio and the Vermont Center for Ecostudies as a mark of appreciation for his environmental leadership.
