Whereas it is possible to enjoy wildlife in a way that is prudent, safe, and 
        educational and that has minimal adverse effects on wildlife;
Whereas the people of the United States should be aware of the potential for 
        conflict between humans and wildlife;
Whereas the people of the United States should learn the safety and stewardship 
        techniques that can prevent such conflicts;
Whereas some groups, such as the Center for Wildlife Information and State and 
        Federal wildlife associations, in cooperation with State and Federal 
        wildlife and land management agencies, have taken important proactive 
        steps to create educations toolkits and design programs to educate 
        outdoor enthusiasts; and
Whereas educational efforts can raise awareness of the potential for such 
        conflict, help minimize such conflict, and promote the responsible 
        enjoyment of wildlife: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate designates May 2008 as ``National Be Bear 
Aware and Wildlife Stewardship Month''.
