From biographical introduction in The Audubon Folio...

"The dramatic first step in stirring America to the urgency of saving wild animals and birds was to arouse us to their interest, human usefulness and beauty. That was the achievement of Audubon and of thousands of naturalists, artists, and conservationists who have followed him."

"There are few homes in America where the spirit of Audubon is not cherished now as an example for our own children to follow safeguarding the beauty of the land he had made his own."

"Today, Audubon's name is a byword for the sound conservation of our wildlife, no less than for one of the world's greatest naturalists and watercolorists."

-by George Dock Jr.
