Save Steve's Place

The Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve (SIWR) is a wetland conservation property and a tribute to Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin.The 135,000 ha property, in Queensland's Cape York Peninsula, is home to a set of three important spring fed wetlands which provide acritical water source to threatened habitat, provide permanent flow of water to the Wenlock River, and is home to rare and vulnerable plants and wildlife.

The Situation

The Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve (SIWR) is being threatened by stripmining. Cape Alumina Pty Ltd has lodged mining lease applications which include approximately 12,300 ha of the Reserve. Cape Aluminacompany documents indicate an intention to mine 50 plus million tons over a 10 year period commencing 2010. The greater part of this mine is on SIWR The proposed area for mining on the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve contains the head waters of irreplaceable waterways and unique biodiversity which will not recover after mining operations are finished.

This is what strip mining does to the land

Wildlife Animal Hospital at Australia Zoo.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Suzie and I am a Wildlife Warrior.. I strongly support Australia Zoo in their cause in saving our Wildlife and Conservation. Steve Irwin's Dream was to have The world’s largest wildlife hospital and that dream is just about to hatch. But a bit of background first.
Australia Zoo opened the original Wildlife Animal Hospital in 2004 in memory of Steve Irwin's mum Lynn Irwin. The building is an old avocado packing shed which is outfitted with medical equipment to become a functioning wildlife hospital. It is currently Australia’s busiest wildlife hospital, providing free veterinary care for thousands of native animals every year that have been critically injured primarily by motor vehicles,dog and cat attacks or clearing off the land. They look after koalas, kangaroos,echidnas, snakes, sugargliders ,emus,pelicans,sea turtles, platypuses and every other native animal you can think of.

The New Hospital is a environmentally friendly building it has been made out of straw bales and rammed earth pretty cool for our environment..WooHoo....Well the hospital is near completion and but it will always needs our help. They rely on donations from the public to help take care of the animals and run the hospital You see the cost to treat one animal ranges from $100 to thousands of dollars. The Hospital treats up to 10,000 animals a year that is a lot of money. This is where I thought of you. I have a dream of donating to the a large sum of money to help them out. If everyone that loved Steve and his causes donated even fifty cents each that would be a ton of money for the hospital. I have made a video it is on Youtube. You can view it HERE
