Steve Irwin People Quotations

If you can't excite people about wildlife, how can you convince them to love, cherish, and protect our wildlife and the environment they live in?

My dad taught me from my youngest childhood memories through these connections with Aboriginal and tribal people that you must always protect people's sacred status, regardless of the pest.

So, my tactic with conservation of apex predators is to get people excited and take them to where they live.

If we can teach people about wildlife, they will be touched. Share my wildlife with me. Because humans want to save things that they love.

When the East Timor conflict broke out, when they gained independence, the militia killed a lot of East Timorese people. And their sacred totem is the crocodile. They believe that their island is actually a solidified crocodile, so it has sacred status.

Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.

We need to increase the perception for people who live in Apollo, Butler and everywhere else that it's OK to come into the city.
