Report this post to the editors

The tragic news of Steve Irwin's death while filming on the Barrier reef off NE Autralia broke earlier today - His passing is a great loss to the world-wide conservation movement!!!

The Croc-man died after being stung through the heart by a sting-wray in a tragic freak accident on the Great-barrier reef. His death has sent shock waves throughout the world with mass outpourings of grief including David Bellamy who broke down while being interviewed for the BBC news. Probably one of the most famous Australians ever, he did more than anyone to energise people' interest and concern about wildlife of all types and the many threats to its survival world-wide. This loss will be particuary devasting to his wife who was an integral part of the whole Crocodile man experiance and their two young children. Steve was only 44 years old and would have probably scaled even greater heights in the years to come what with even more great wildlife programmes and an ambitious expansion of his own zoo which did great work in boosting populations of many threatened species. A sad and depressing day indeed for all those who care about our living planet - Steve Irwin RIP
