    Remembering Steve Irwin

    I heard it on the radio while I got ready for work, I couldn't believe it. I moped around and when I told my coworkers why I was so blue, the most I got was, "Gee, that's too bad." Too bad indeed, too bad for the millions of dollars that will never be raised for conservation without the power of his celebrity. Too bad for all of the wilderness that will be lost without his worldwide message of conservation and advocacy. Too bad for all the threatened and endangered animals who will anonymously perish without him as their champion. And perhaps most devastating, too bad for all the children who will never pursue a career in biology or ecology or any natural science without him to inspire them.
    Every year we lose celebrities before their time, and for the most part we lament the songs yet to be written, the rolls yet to be played. But it is only for Steve Irwin that we can say with conviction and sincerity that today the earth is a lesser planet than it would have otherwise been.
