I created a petition to encourage a larger organization to purchase the rights to the Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter) collection of series. The purpose would be to upscale the collection and create an easy way for generations of the future to access and watch one of the most important people of the 20th and early 21st century.

His inspiration and passion for conservation and preservation of the planet are second to none. His quirkiness and drive to save every environment he could was an inspiration to us all and should be treated as a treasure for all mankind. So this is not to have an entity make money or to profit, but to preserve his legacy and make it more available to every person on the planet. Any proceeds that an organization would gain should be given directly to support conservation efforts.

I've been thinking about this recently and I'd genuinely like to hear what people who know more about conservation, arachnology, or envronmental law think.

Scorpions have been around for roughly 430 million years (i think) and they've survived multiple mass extinction events. But unlike alot of other animals, most scorpion species dont really have any meaningful legal protection unless they're already considered threatened or are covered by internatioal trade regulations.

My idea is that all wild scorpion species should have atleast some basic legal protection, while rare or threatened species could have stronger protections. This could mean protection from unnecesary killing, large-scale collecting and habitat destruction, while still allowing people to safely remove scorpions from homes when needed.

I know theres probably some practical problems with this idea, so I'm genuinely curious what people think. Would this actually be a reasonable conservation approach, or is there a good reason why it wouldnt work?

sorry for bad english..
