還記得去年9月份某天值完班
在宿舍看著在澳洲動物園為Steve Irwin舉辦的惜別會的實況轉撥 格外感人
他的熱情感動了世界上無數的人

"If there is one thing that I, Steve Irwin, would want to be remembered for, is be remembered for passion and enthusiasm. Conservation is my job, my life, my whole persona."
-Steve Irwin

其中 史蒂夫的女兒Bindi也寫了一封信

My Daddy was my hero – he was always there for me when I needed him. He listened to me and taught me so many things, but most of all he was fun.
I know that Daddy had an important job. He was working to change the world so everyone would love wildlife like he did. He built a hospital to help animals and he bought lots of land to give animals a safe place to live.
He took me and my brother and my Mum with him all the time. We filmed together, caught crocodiles together and loved being in the bush together.
I don’t want Daddy’s passion to ever end. I want to help endangered wildlife just like he did.
I have the best Daddy in the whole world and I will miss him every day. When I see a crocodile I will always think of him and I know that Daddy made this zoo so everyone could come and learn to love all the animals. Daddy made this place his whole life and now it’s our turn to help Daddy.

信中有小女孩對父親的愛 還有一分勇氣與對這個生生不息的世界的熱情
就像她的父親一樣
