Steve Irwin gave the world awareness of conservation...

Thats what he wanted to do and he got his wish...

Did he promote conservation or did he promote us all watching programs about conservation on TV (mostly his).

I think there's a big difference between being able to identify a crocodile, snake, spider, and knowing what good practice and policy is environmental management. Environmental conservation is much broadre than the concept of a ZOO.

We all waste water but we love Steve Irwin? It don't make sense.

Irwin was a TV product for TV audiences.

If you want to support real conservation, get up off your sofa's and read a book about it, join your local group.

Despite the popular thinking, mourning his death won't save the environment
