Bindi Irwin has taken a bold and emotional step to honor the legacy of her late father, Steve Irwin, by planting 10,000 trees as part of a global climate action movement. The project, which focuses on restoring vital habitats and combating the effects of climate change, reflects the very mission Steve dedicated his life to — protecting the natural world.
“This is my way of carrying his love for the planet forward,” Bindi shared in an emotional statement. “Dad taught me that every tree, every animal, every small act of care matters. Planting these trees isn’t just about the environment, it’s about creating a future where his message continues to grow.”
The massive tree-planting initiative has already inspired a wave of action worldwide. Fans, conservationists, and supporters have pledged to plant trees in their own communities, turning Steve’s memory into a living movement. Social media has been flooded with images of seedlings planted in his honor, tagged with heartfelt messages like “For Steve” and “Carrying the Crocodile Hunter’s torch.”
Environmental experts have praised the project, noting that the trees will provide habitats for countless species while helping to absorb carbon and mitigate climate damage. “This kind of grassroots effort is exactly what we need in the fight against climate change,” one climate scientist remarked. “And the fact that it’s tied to Steve Irwin’s legacy makes it even more powerful.”
For Bindi, the initiative is as much about healing as it is about environmental action. She described the moment of planting the first tree as overwhelming. “It felt like Dad was right there beside me,” she admitted. “Every tree is a reminder of the love he had for this planet — and the responsibility he passed on to us.”
The project also underscores how the Irwin family continues to use their platform to inspire real-world change. From conservation programs at Australia Zoo to global outreach efforts, they’ve shown a consistent commitment to blending awareness with action.
Perhaps most moving is how the initiative brings people together in a shared cause. “This isn’t just my project — it’s ours,” Bindi emphasized. “Each person who plants a tree in Dad’s memory becomes part of something bigger. Together, we can make the world a better place, one tree at a time.”
As thousands of new trees take root across the globe, Steve Irwin’s message of love for the Earth lives on — not just in words, but in forests that will stand tall for generations.
