     the potential for conflict between humans and wildlife;
       Whereas the people of the United States should learn the

     management agencies, have taken important proactive steps to 
     create educations toolkits and design programs to educate

     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
