Steve Irwin was a hero. WildFigurines.com honours a fellow Australian and wildlife conservationist.

Steve Irwin will be probably be remembered more for his insatiable appetite for life, including wildlife, his work towards wildlife protection and preservation, his special love for crocodiles and snakes, and his movie, The Crocodile Hunter. But also for his family he left behind and the organization he founded with wife Terri, The Wildlife Warriors.

In 2002, Steve and Terri Irwin established Wildlife Warriors Worldwide Ltd, an organization aimed at preserving and protecting injured, threatened and endangered wildlife species. Steve, up until his death, and Terri remained supporters and advisors, but allowed the charity to operate independently of them, by allowing caring people to become very involved.

Other objectives of the Wildlife Warriors is to protect and enhance the natural environment, create awareness by providing education, the undertaking of biological research, and to enter into co-operative arrangements with other like-minded organizations.

As a wildlife figurines retailer, we at WildFigurines.com have always looked at ways to help with wildlife preservation. Most of our donations have gone towards the World Wildlife Fund, especially to their adoption scheme aimed at trying to preserve endangered species such as the Panda and Polar Bears, as well as the Tiger.

From now until Christmas we will donate proceeds from all sales to the Wildlife Warriors organization. Its the least we can do for not only wildlife preservation, but to remember a great man.

Steve Irwin, thankyou for all you have done. We will miss you.
