I'm not real sure of what your question was but I think you are asking does one need to be adventurous as steve irwin to learn about wildlife and the environment.

The answer is definately not. People around the world have dedicated there life to the protection of our environment for many years and have done an a marvelous job, I take my hat off to them all.

Read as much as you can, ask questions to people working in different fields that work with wildlife. Go for a walk in the park and sit an observe the behaviour, there is no need to touch.

If you think of it this way, nature has it's order and animals and plants have developed strategies to cope but when you interact for what ever reason you have introduced an element which they are unfamilular with and this can cause stress and certainly unnatural behavour other than defence.

This is one reason why "other" wildlife documentary film makers and the likes would use long lenses and only record "passive" behaviour.

Anthropologists discribe this as observance study. As humans we put our own judements and values to animal behaviour when we interact. Think of a pet as an example, we treat it like one of the family yet we would never consider making a wild animal a pet (in most cases) so we treat it with some respect.

“We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.” William Hazlitt 1778-1830


Hope this helps?

Sure we're all a little bit different, he was a genuine guy with a love of animals, anyone that adds to peoples interest or fascination of wildlife and conservation has got to be someone special. Even though real biological scientific endeavor assists world conservation immensely, the average zoologist would have a hard time enthusing people about wildlife as much as Steve Urwin.

Some extent, yes, to encourage others to become animal lovers. Specially this adventures really required for children to familiar with and love animals and wild life. Thus,in future, they will work for protecting animals and wild life.
If they are not familiar and love wild animal, they may be become less concious about animal's life and can find a solution to kill animal if any problem occurs.

I think Steve Irwin had fun doing what he enjoyed, and I think he educated lots of people in the process. Steve was a great conservationist who truly loved the animals that he brought on his show.
