Steve Irwin…… On September 4, 2006, Irwin was fatally stabbed in the chest by a stingray spine while snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, at Batt Reef, which is located off the coast of Port Douglas in Queensland. Irwin was in the area filming his own documentary, Ocean’s Deadliest, but weather had stalled filming. Irwin decided to take the opportunity to film some shallow water shots for a segment in the television program his daughter Bindi was hosting, when, according to his friend and colleague, John Stainton, he swam too close to one of the stingrays. “He came on top of the stingray and the stingray’s barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart,” said Stainton, who was on board Irwin’s boat the Croc One.
During the time when Steve was still around, he was very concerned with the protection of endangered animals and problems related to deforestation which resulted in massive loss of habitat. He considered conservation to be the most important part for his career. Steve Irwin was a passionate conservationist and believed in promoting environmentalism by sharing his excitement about the natural world with people all over the planet.
Throughout his lifespan he was trying to inspire people into believing that we, humans can play a big part in helping wildlife and that the purpose of our existence is to protect the nature instead of destroying it. He had urged people to take part in considerate tourism and not support illegal poaching through the purchase of items such as turtle shells or shark-fin soup.
I personally feel that Steve’s plays a big role in emphasizing the current situation about wildlife to us. If it wasn’t for him, the situation for those animals might be far worse than what we could expect. If it wasn’t for him to raise the concern about the present situation, many more lives would be destroyed. For that reason, I feel that, we should all give our respect to Steve and not forget all the amazing things that he had done. Because of all the hard work that Steve had done, our world is gradually changing for the better. Steve had granted us a good beginning to conservation and I feel that it is now our turn to continue this believe and end it with a pleasant ending.
