Legacy of Steve Irwin and the Australia Zoo

Overview

The legacy of Australian wildlife conservationist Steve Irwin continues to be maintained by his family and the Australia Zoo.

Marking the 20th anniversary of his death on September 4, 2006, Bindi Irwin released a tribute describing her father as a ‘superhero’. Irwin died at age 44 after being fatally struck by a stingray while filming a documentary near the Great Barrier Reef.

His impact persists through the next generation and the ongoing conservation missions of the Australia Zoo and Wildlife Warriors, which he co-founded with his wife, Terri Irwin.

On the 20th anniversary of his passing, his children, Bindi and Robert Irwin, shared emotional tributes on social media. Bindi, now 28, reflected that while she once viewed his legacy solely through wildlife conservation, she now sees it as a ‘legacy of love for the planet and for each other’. Robert, 22, also honored his memory, stating, ‘Your legacy is forever.’

Robert has continued his father’s mission through his work at Australia Zoo and his media presence, emphasizing a core lesson from Steve: to treat every living being with the same level of care, appreciation, and respect one would wish to receive. The family continues to uphold Steve’s mission through their work at the Australia Zoo and the Wildlife Warriors organization, focusing on the protection of threatened species and habitats.
