We all grew up loving the famous Aussie, Steve Irwin. We watched as he traveled the Australian outback and the rest of the globe as he taught us about all the animals of the world and why they are important. Steve Irwin left the world way too soon when he was tragically killed filming a series for the Discovery Channel. As the whole world was shocked and devastated by the loss of the amazing conservationist, he left behind three amazing people to continue his legacy.
From the moment we saw Bindi Irwin speak at her father's funeral at the Australia Zoo Crocoseum, we all knew she was going to do amazing things. At only 8 years old she showed more strength and courage than I know I could today.
"I don't want daddy's passion to ever end. I want to help endangered wildlife just like he did."
- Bindi Irwin
Over the years Bindi has made it her top priority and mission to continue the work her father left behind. Though Bindi has her own passions such as acting and dancing as shown by her recent appearance as a constant on "Dancing With The Stars" and her many movies and shows she has starred in, she shares the same love of animals and determination to teach the world about them as her dad did.
Bindi in very involved with the Australia Zoo and her Dad's conservation foundation Wildlife Warriors. Everywhere Bindi goes and with everything she does, she is always sure to educate the world on the amazing animals that inhabit it. Bindi stated, "Every time you lose an animal, it's like losing a brick from the house. Pretty soon the house just falls down, you know?"
It is clear that Bindi Irwin is her own person, but yet at the same time, she carries a special part of her father and shares in his loving passion for conserving the world's wildlife and educating the population on what they can do to help. Bindi Irwin is only 17 years old and has accomplished so much. I know I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for this amazing girl who is changing the world.
