Thank you guys for tuning in to part three.
Thank you for all of your questions.
Grace thanks you too, with her leaf stick.
[Bindi] Okay. [Chandler] All right.
Someone said- Oh, firstly, thank you.
This is a really lovely question.
They said: "I'm literally your biggest fan, Bindi. I idolize you."
Oh... Thank you.
My question is, do you guys work at Australia every day?
Is that your full time jobs?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. -Yes it is.
And we also
have a very big job of...
Well, a nonprofit organization called Wildlife Warriors.
We help animals everywhere,
from rhinos in Kenya to elephants in Sumatra.
And it is just a very, very big job.
So our lives are very busy. And, yeah.
It's our whole world.
It's wonderful,
Sometimes extremely challenging. [Chandler] Yes.
But it means a lot that we get to do as much as we can
to make positive change on the planet for the generations to come.
So, yeah, it's really special.
It's a big job that never feels like work.
No, it's true.
Yeah, it's a big job, and it takes a lot of effort, but it's just what we do.
Yeah. Yeah, and it's- it's...
It's our mission.
More so than our job, I guess.
Yeah, that's a good way of putting it.
Thank you.
Chandler.
It says Chandler.
Oh, Chandler. Yeah.
Do you still wakeboard?
I do not wakeboard anymore.
I have hung up the old wakeboard and dedicate 100% of my time to
Australia Zoo and Grace, because that is now what I'm so passionate about doing
and what I want to dedicate 100% of my energy towards.
However I do whenever I get a spare minute,
I do surf now, so I think that's something I can do,
hopefully well into my seventies and eighties.
It's something I can do forever and hopefully one day do with Grace as well.
If she wants to do that.
And he's actually really, really a very good surfer.
"I am constantly inspired by your kindness and loving nature."
"I would love some advice on what you do to try and maintain..."
"such a close and caring family atmosphere with both of your families-"
“Being that there is a lot of physical distance between y'all?"
Y’all- I love y'all.
Yes, it is- it is challenging.
When my mom's side of the family lives in Oregon,
Chandler's family, they're all in Florida and Ohio...
And Ohio.
We work really hard at FaceTiming as much as we can.
-time difference is very difficult with that.
But we were in a long distance relationship for years.
[Chandler] Yeah we were. [Bindi] And we made it work.
And so I think if you if you love someone, you make it work.
And that's what we do.
So we try really hard to send as many pictures and videos as we can.
I'm a little old fashioned. I write a lot of letters.
You do write a lot of letters.
I try really hard to stay updated and present in each other's lives.
It's really important. -It's true.
They got to come to Australia for the first time in two and a half years!
Chandler's parents traveled all the way from Florida to come and finally... [Chandler] Finally.
finally meet Grace.
Seriously, guys, they haven't seen us since before we got married.
And then we had Grace and it was like,
Y'know we really really should see your parents...
[Chandler] This really needs to happen now...
This has to happen.
But because of all the lockdowns
with the pandemic, Chandler's parents couldn't come here.
We couldn't fly to the US for obvious reasons.
and so much has changed in our lives in this
two and a half years, I mean, with- Australia Zoo was shut for 78 days
because of the pandemic. We are all open again... but it-
We're really grateful for for all the support from your sweet family.
Yeah they've just they've always been there.
They have. they've always been so supportive.
And I'm grateful that, like, we are somewhat making it out the other side
and things seem to be doing pretty good where we are and we're all safe
and my family's safe. So yeah, that's the important thing.
But also we really love each other and we're so glad to be there for one another.
It's true. Yeah, it's really special.
"What is the most common animal to be admitted to The Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital?"
"And have animal populations and habitat seen regrowth since the horrible fires all over Australia?"
That's a very good question.
The animal that we see the most at our wildlife hospital is actually birds.
We see so many, so many, so many birds.
Oh, my goodness.
Unfortunately, after all of the bushfires,
our wildlife has not recovered.
It- it- it's I don't know if it ever will, to be completely honest with you.
We lost billions of animals.
And I don't just throw around the word billions.
I quite literally mean billions of them. Yes.
Died in those fires.
And now with more habitat destruction
and uncertainty for the future.
Yeah, wildlife in Australia is doing it really hard.
Koalas now, classes endangered and truly I think more of our Australian
wildlife needs to be classified as endangered, because they are all doing it really hard.
