Robert IrwinMeet “Prince William,” a 3.8-metre (12 feet, 6 inches) saltwater crocodile and the 300th crocodile tagged through our world-leading research project on the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve. We named him in recognition of Prince William’s remarkable commitment to conservation and to mark the halfway point of The Earthshot Prize. Utilising the very same techniques that my dad, Steve Irwin, devised this croc is fitted with a small tracker that will provide a decade of invaluable data - all to benefit the conservation of this species and its ecosystem. It’s an incredible milestone, and a reminder of how research can contribute to conservation over generations.🌿🐊
