Default Save Steve Irwin's Plave

Hey guys not sure if im allowed to post this here or its the wrong place to post... but here it goes

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 a critical 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 Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve (SIWR) was acquired as part of the National Reserve System Programme for the purpose of nature conservation with the assistance of the Australian Government.
The Situation

The Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve (SIWR) is being threatened by strip mining. Cape Alumina Pty Ltd has lodged mining lease applications which include approximately 12,300 ha of the Reserve. Cape Alumina company 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.

Tribute to the crazy Crocodile Hunter. Up to now I still cannot believe that he died from a stingray barb. Tot a croc might do him more justice. He actually inspired me to have the vision of buying land for conservation.

Yeah, I signed into the petition too........

In the memories of Steve Irwin. He was a great man, I really liked to watch his shows. Until now, I never get bored to watch his shows, looking at the cheerful and wild face, hearing the joyful and invigorating voice of him.......... bless me.....snifff.......

Why did the stingray had to sting him???? Sigh.......

Cheers
