A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution expresses support for the continued Federal commitment to repopulating and recovering the red wolf in North Carolina and throughout the country. Red wolves are considered an endangered species and vital apex predators for their ecosystems. The Red Wolf Recovery Program, sponsored by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, is the sole Federal effort dedicated to restoring their wild population. Efforts include maintaining captive populations across dozens of zoological parks. Additionally, the resolution highlights the importance of wildlife corridors to protect the species. These corridors will be placed along Route 64 in the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.
