I don't know about the best-but certainly one of the best. His work was geniune and inspired-he broke a lot of new ground in terms of documentary style shows. I've enjoyed watching his family grow too. I hope his legacy continues with the next generation.

He certainly brought the subject to the widest possible audience and presented in such an entertaining and enthusiastic way that people actually took notice of him, So i dont know if he could be called the greatest environmentalist ever but he sure must be up there with the best.

I think he's the bestest environmentalist ever... he's my personal hero... i've always wanted to meet him personally in his zoo at australia and to tell him personally how great i think he is... i really admire and respect him as a person, always wanted a dad like him... it is such a great loss to the world, such a shame... i wanted to wait till i had enough to travel there to australia to see him personally as i miss out on seeing him when he came to visit Singapore zoo... he really is someone who devoted his whole life to saving and educating the public about the wildlife... his shows are really interesting and i loved watching the events happening on his shows... will really miss this guy... i also think his family is really blessed to have him and know him personally because he is such a great and selfless man... his shows and the person he is will always live in my heart as a living lagacy forever.

How do you rate an environmentalist? He was an excellent advocate for all creatures great & small and fought to spread education and enlightenment as a means of protecting & preserving nature. Was he in the same class as say, Johnathan Muir? That's not for us to say. His position forced Steve to be a showman at times and , to me, that detracted from his message. Nonetheless, he AlWAYS placed the creatures first, and that was his greatest message. He will be missed.

I don't know if he was the best, but he damn sure was the coolest!I remember watching him as a little kid fasinated by what he did. He permanently changed my feelings for crocs! I will never forget him. Rest in Peace Steve Irwin!

He wasn't the best environmentalist ever but he bought his topic to the forefront with his outrageous risk taking and bravado. It was just a matter of time before something like this happened though. He faced death every time he did his documentaries and although it came as no real surprise I was still a little shocked and will miss him. He was a legend in his own lifetime and my thoughts go out to his wife and children.
A great Loss............ god bless......

Yeah, Beccy's right we had this question 30,000 times this morning (I woke up at 4 am and bamm! what a shock) but you still want to post an answer even to say, yeah, "me too, I'm really bummed out, too."
I think he had to be one of the best ever. He changed MY mind about a lot of things and I'm kind of a right-wing prick. My son is devastated......

I was so sad when I found out. His kids are so young. And his shows were great too. R.I.P.
