Work with Animals

Anneka supports the following:

Greenpeace
Anneka's late step dad 'Ben Metcalfe' was one of the original founders of Greenpeace and sailed the original Greenpeace boat out into the Pacific all those years ago to stop the nuclear testing.
Because of Ben and his fellow crew - this is how Greenpeace made it's name.

Butterfly World
Anneka and David Bellamy lend their support to the official launch of Butterfly World
Britain is to build the world's biggest butterfly house as a giant visitor attraction with a giant conservation message:
stop butterflies disappearing.
Butterfly World, which will have 10,000 butterflies at a time fluttering under its 300ft-wide, walk-through dome, is being built just off the M25, near St Albans, Hertfordshire.
The £25m project was launched with the support of some of the major voices in Britain's conservation community, led by Sir David Attenborough.

Anneka raises awareness for our oceans
Anneka Svenska dives the Maldives to help raise awareness about the damage which is being inflicted upon our oceans
Anneka, a keen diver, marine fish and invertebrate enthusiast invited photographers on a dive with her this May to show how holiday makers can so easily damage the oceans with careless diving habits,
such as kicking and removing corals. Also how dumping waste into the oceans is poisoning our fish.
Sadly if Global Warming carries on the way it is going, it is predicted that the Maldives will be under water by 2050.

Anneka is also a patron to the animal charity
Cornish Voice for Animals

The Skiathos Animal Shelter
This shelter was set up by some wonderful English animal lovers and has created a harmonious atmosphere for their well-fed, well-loved inhabitants. This dog home aims it’s advertising at the tourists who visit Skiathos. They raise funds by inviting the tourists to come walk their dogs daily. This incredible idea gives the sweet and docile dogs exercise and love and at the same time brings much needed donations to the shelter.Despite the amazing home Anneka encountered, there are many ‘death-row’ shelters in Greece at the moment, where the conditions are so disgusting that the dogs pretty much go there to die.

WSPA Chinese Bear Bile Farms Press Call
Anneka protested on behalf of the WSPA alongside Lisa B outside the Chinese Embassy, London, against the cruel Bear Farms of the East. The Bears are caged throughout their painfully short life in cages they cannot stand up in. A catheter is inserted into an open wound into their gall bladder and they are 'milked' for bear bile throughout the day. Many do not survive the catheter operation due to infection. The poor few who survive suffer in great distress and pain until they die.
Please support Anneka in bringing awareness to this cruel trade by visiting the WSPA at:
