“When I was in reception, my teacher showed us a picture of a whale that had died because of plastic pollution. Since then, I have been determined to do something for wildlife. I believe that all the animals and plants should be valued and protected.
“My name is Aneeshwar and I am nine years old. I love to share my passion for the natural world with others. I have done many things of which I am very proud. I spoke about nature on Britain’s Got Talent and I have presented more than 20 keynote speeches around the world and inspired thousands of business leaders.
“I have campaigned for children to lead wildlife documentaries in the Children’s Media Conference, and I went on an Arctic expedition with a Polar wildlife scientist for the COP28 – Save Our Wildlife documentary by Sky Kids.
“My expedition experiences are captured in my first-ever book, called The Adventures of a Young Naturalist – The Arctic Expedition. The RSPB has always motivated me and given me good knowledge about the wildlife around the UK. If the RSPB is not protecting our amazing bird life, then I won’t be able to experience and learn about them! That’s why I am donating the proceeds from my book to the RSPB.
“I’m now working on two nature TV series and am preparing for a Tiger expedition in India. In my role as a Young Ambassador for The Kennedy Center, I’ll be collaborating with NASA to explore how space technology can aid in wildlife conservation on Earth. I’m looking forward to speaking about my passion at COP and the United Nations one day. However young or old, you can always make a difference. Please take small steps today to make a huge difference for the future generations.”
