Why is the work of john audubon important?

He stood out for his extensive studies that documented all types of American birds and for his detailed illustrations, which represented birds in their natural habitats. The National Audubon Society protects birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow, across the Americas through science, promotion, education and conservation on the ground. The Audubons then acquired several more enslaved people during the 1820s, but sold them again in 1830, when they moved to England, where Audubon oversaw the production of what he called his “great work”, The Birds of America, the enormous four-volume compendium of bird art that made him famous.
