Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.

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.

Crikey means gee whiz, wow!

So, my tactic with conservation of apex predators is to get people excited and take them to where they live.

A lot of people who work with wildlife work with wildlife to satisfy their own egos. And I don't really agree with that. What I do is get in nice and close to the animal to make the animal look good. My aim in this world is to make that brown snake, that crocodile, that koala, that red-backed spider, that black widow, look good. That's my job. I have absolutely no problem with my ego or my staff's ego.

I sincerely believe that there's room for cutting down trees for forestry and grazing, so as we all get to eat. Everyone has to compromise.
