He achieved world-wide fame from the television program The Crocodile Hunter, an internationally-broadcast wildlife documentary series co-hosted with his wife Terri Irwin.

If there were, only more people out there that put the amount of effort into there job and loved there work and the animals they studied as much as this man. Then I believe many of the worlds endanger animals and one that are soon going to be at risk on both land and in the oceans of the world would have a much better chance. I have watch many hours of The Crocodile Hunter on discovery over the year as well as other projects, that Steve had been involved in, and he is truly going to be missed. The data and information he has collected over the year threw his teams studies will continue to benefit many species into the future.
It was such a sad and tragic thing for him to die. But in an odd way, perhaps his death is bringing even more attnetion than ever to the theme of conservation. I started watching the very last program that he made; but found it too sad.
