John James Audubon was born in 1785 and died in 1851, but his name is still talked about every day. Audubon was a scientist who loved nature. He wanted to show people the importance of nature in their lives. He was especially interested in birds, and painted many beautiful pictures of them.
In1950, the National Audubon Society was formed by people who were also interested in birds and wanted to continue Audubon’s nature studies. Even now, when people think of the Audubon’s Society, they usually think of birds. But the Society does other things besides watching birds.
The members of the Society try to improve the environment as much as they can. They let the public know about the laws that are needed. They have helped to pass many laws that protect birds and animals, and people, too. They teach young people how to protect their environment. They try to make their own communities (社区) cleaner, better places to live in.
John James Audubon knew that nature was important. He did not know how important his work would become.
