The project represented a monumental cooperative effort in the early era of wildlife audio documentation. It was one of the first large-scale attempts to integrate sound into the popular practice of field identification, anticipating today's use of digital recordings and apps.Sture Palmer, (d. 1988) was one of the leading pioneers of wildlife sound recording. Jeffery Boswell (1931- 2012) was a wildlife film-maker and natural history broadcaster who worked for the BBC.
