Steve Irwin Day Blog
We want to know how YOU are going to Khaki it this Steve Irwin Day, 15 November 2009 to help make a difference for wildlife conservation?
Khaki is more than a colour. It’s an attitude. It’s a stand to do something positive in our world and a passion to make a difference. And when you make a difference – you KHAKI IT!
Khaki is a symbol of Steve Irwin, the original Crocodile Hunter and Wildlife Warrior. At Australia Zoo and Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors – we continue the legacy of Conservation, Family and Fun that Stevo created – and every day – we KHAKI IT!
When you see that khaki uniform, it is a sign that somebody is there to get in and get their hands dirty and save an animal or campaign for wildlife conservation. But you don’t have to be Terri, Bindi or Robert Irwin or a member of the Zoo Crew to be a Wildlife Warrior. Anyone can make a difference. Anyone can KHAKI IT!
Blog here how you KHAKI IT! Have you saved an animal, picked up rubbish, planted trees, fundraised or spread Steve’s message about conservation?
Your blogs can include text, images, links or even short videos and don’t forget to comment on blogs from your fellow conservationists!
This feature is open to all Australia Zoo online members. If you are not a member, thenRegister here

WOO HOO!! The Crikey! Fundraiser Geocoin is back!
I have decided to do a 2nd minting of the Crikey Fundraiser Geocoin.  I designed this coin in late 2006 as a memorial to my hero Steve Irwin.  The first run of the Crikey! coin finished sales in 2007 and we made a huge donation to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide.  Since the 1st run sold out I have had many folks asking about how they could get another coin so I decided to have a 2nd run produced in time for Steve Irwin Day 2009.  Unfortunately we didn’t make the date due to various reasons but the coin is now available for sale through this link http://www.coinsandpins.com/index.php?cPath=25_41
This time I will donate 50% of the money we raise from the sale of this coin to Wildlife Warriors and 50% to the Bob Irwin Wildlife Fund. Â Read more about what Steve’s dad Bob is doing to help Australia’s native wildlife on his website here:Â http://www.bobirwinwildlife.com/
Read more about the Crikey! Fundraiser Geocoin on its website at this link:Â http://www.earthshinenature.com/crikeycoin
This is a very limited run of the Crikey! coin so jump on one before they slither off into someone elses pocket!
WOO HOO!
CROCS RULE!!
Steve

Hello everybody
My mum is helping me write this. My name is Anna, and I am 5. This year, for my birthday which was in November I had a “Bindi” party. Instead of birthday presents, I asked all my friends to donate money so I could adopt some animals. As a result, I have adopted “Jaffa” the koala, and “Casper” the crocodile. Also, instead of presents for my cousins this year, our family are adopting animalsfor them….four of them!!!! I am visiting my Grandma and Grandpa on the Sunshine Coast for Christmas and have asked Santa to bring me a “Bindi” hat and a day at Australia zoo on Boxing Day so I can see Bindi. I love her very much and have most of her DVD’s. I do hope Santa can bring me that. Love Anna

It’s just amazing the legacy this man has left….
Here is a photo of my sons Ihaia (5) and Matty (3) who just adore animals and love Steve Irwin’s documentries and watching Bindi - I hope where ever Steve is he is proud to know that his legacy lives on not only in his own children’s hearts but in the heart’s of children everywhere….
WE LOVE SNAKES!!!

“I may be a KID but I AM Making a DIFFERENCE!!!!”
BUT being a Wildlife Warrior is not only about raising money for conservation and wildlife it is also about teaching people that we CAN live along side our wildlife,It’s trying to get people to do the right thing example throw your rubbish in a bin not on the ground. Recycle and reuse, Don’t use plastic bags as they are killing off our wildlife and polluting our land and waterways. please don’t use straws as they end up in our water ways and they ahve been known to kill wildlife by getting syuck in their throats and stomach.
Education: Working with people here in Australia and around the world so they can understand that we can live along side with wildlife and we do not need to fearful of them . Wildlife Warriors work together with FFI in Cambodia they have shown the Cambodians a way to keep elephants away from their crops, They have planted Chilli around their crops because elephants do not like chilli therefore stay away from the crops they have planted to earn money from.
Never ever buy products that come from endangered species, like tigers teeth,elephant tusks,Fur rugs,Fur coats you would be horrified to find out just how many pelts it takes to make one fur coat. WE humans have the wonderful opportunity to make clothing items from many types of material we do NOT need to wear real animal fur,the animals need it we don’t.
ANWSER THE CALL:
I am collecting mobile phones,Old ones unwanted ones any type you don’t want.These are NOT for me. As you know I AM aWildlife Warrior and right now I am on a mission to help save Gorillas in Africa.
Habitat destruction and poaching are just two of the factors driving this greatape to extinction. Coltan is a rare mineral that is used in the production ofelectronic devices, including mobile phones. Unfortunately, most of the world’s coltan reserves are found in the same region as gorillas and the mining for thisrare mineral is destroying their last remaining habitat.By recycling your old mobile phones, not only are you reducing the demand for coltan but also helping to raise funds for Gorilla conservation.
If you live in Melbourne shoot me an email and I can either pick up your old phone/phones or send you the bag you need to send your phone in .If your near Auztralia Zoo go there for a visit and collect a bag to send your phone/phones in.While your there grab a few extra and hand them out to family and friends. The more phones we can collect the better for the sake of the gorillas. Or you can even go online and print out some labels to send your phone/phones off.
It is trying our best to stop actions that we know are wrong therefore I am asking you all the petitions below if you have not all ready.If you can also please forward the URLs to everyone you know we have to do the right thing.

After all these years, I want to tell you all how profoundly Steve influenced my son, Trevor. We have always love animals and have a small reptilian collection of our own. My son, Trevor grew up watching Steve’s adventures on Animal Planet and fully intended to study under him, journeying to the Australian Zoo after graduation. He cried for weeks after Steve passed away, but is now happy knowing that the zoo and Steve’s message will survive. This young man, Trevor, living in Southwest Florida caught and cared for snakes, turtles, alligators, and other reptiles nearly every day. Before, he gets too old I want to share this with you as a furthering tribute to Steve Irwin:
When he was 12, Trevor was fishing at one of the local fresh water lakes when he saw an alligator lying on the bank. The ‘gator looked decimated, dried out, and nearly dead. He went to it and helped it into the water, but the ‘gator thrashed, rolled, and did not act right. Trevor pulled him back on shore. A homeowner came out and told Trevor the ‘gator showed up about three days before and hadn’t moved from the bank. Trevor instinctively knew it would die, so he ran home, tied his wagon to his bike, dumped out toys from a rubbermaid tub and returned to save the ‘gator. Upon getting the alligator home, Trevor called a group called C.R.O.W. (Care and Rehabilitation of Wildlife) located on Sanibel Island, Fl. As members of the SW Florida Herpetological Society, we knew they help distressed indigenous species. CROW came and collected the alligator. Trevor gave them all the information he could and they saved the alligator’s life. They determined the alligator sustained permanent neurological damage likely from being struck by an automobile. Although the animal could never survive in the wild with the injuries he has, CROW donated him to a local alligator zoo where he will be cared for and make baby ‘gators for the rest of his life. Attached is a picture of Trevor with his ‘gator.
