I am optimistic globally. So many scientists are working frantically on the reparation of our planet. Unfortunately there are countries who are still destroying it, but we really hope the conservation message rubs off in our film. Every cent we earn from Crocodile Hunter goes straight back into conservation. Every single cent.

The truth is that we will never save wildlife by killing it.

I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.

No matter where you go and what you do in America, you turn the tele on and you're confronted with violence.

What television has done is it's given me a stepping stone to get to some other countries and really wild destinations throughout this world, which perhaps I would have had to struggle to get to.

If you can't excite people about wildlife, how can you convince them to love, cherish, and protect our wildlife and the environment they live in?

We've evolved from sitting back on our tripods and shooting wildlife films like they have been shot historically, which doesn't work for us.
