Bill > HJRes138

This resolution expresses support for designating the second Saturday of January as "National Desert Day" to raise awareness about the importance of desert ecosystems. It acknowledges that deserts, defined as arid lands with sparse vegetation and low rainfall, are home to unique biodiversity, play a crucial role in supporting migrating birds and global biodiversity, and hold significant cultural importance. The resolution calls on the President to issue a proclamation encouraging the public to observe this day with appropriate activities and reaffirms Congress's commitment to conserving native landscapes by reducing invasive species, maintaining pollinator gardens, educating citizens about desert conservation, and pursuing policies that protect deserts worldwide.
