TV presenter Anneka Svenska is a highly respected Wildlife Presenter & Green Guru who is well known in the UK for her work with animals on and off the screen. Anneka has drawn much of her inspiration off her mum's late partner Ben Metcalfe, who was one of the original Greenpeace founders.

Anneka originally kicked off her career as a fully trained theatrical actress and appeared in many movies and UK TV shows including the highly publicised and successful movie show ouTHERE which ran for 3 years.

More recently Anneka has been devoting more of her on screen time to natural history TV due to her experience having worked with animals all her life while training as an actress and has appeared as a dog expert, scuba diver and animal handler in many well known British terrestrial shows, as well as featuring in well loved programmes alongside top wildlife icons including Steve Irwin.

When Anneka is not filming, her unique speciality is that she works alongide wolves and spends most of her time interacting with these amazing and misunderstood creatures. Anneka has groundbreaking photos with her wolves which challenge many perseptions of the creature's behaviour.









Anneka grew up surrounded by animals and was working with the RSPCA by the age of 5. By the age of 15 Anneka had already saved numerous animals and her house became a haven for all manner of adopted and saved creatures. Anneka started to train as a vet, but pulled the ropes on this career due to her being too 'soft-hearted' to be able to euthanize animals. Anneka decided instead to focus all of her animal saving efforts into TV and conservation instead. Anneka excelled at High School and achieved 4 A levels, 10 GCSE's followed by a 2:1 Hons degree in TV & Environmental Studies. This was followed by a post graduate diploma at the well respected Guildford School of acting before she embarking on a highly successful TV career.

















Anneka decided to train as a fully qualified American Red Cross Beach Lifeguard, RLSS UK Lifeguard and PADI diver in order to perfect her expertise for travel and adventure. She has travelled to many countries working on conservation projects surrounding some of the globe's most endangered animals. As well as being at the forefront of wolf behaviour expertise, Anneka also advises owners on alpha-dog handling methods and marine fish care. Anneka is a celebrity supporter for many animal charities including VIVA (Vegetarians Voice for Animals), PETA, Born Free, WSPA and Battersea Dogs Home and has appeared alongside wonderful personalities such as Joanna Lumley and Paul McCartney in many of their campaigns and videos.













Anneka is a staunch vegetarian and has created a 'Cornish' eco friendly paradise in the back garden of her London townhouse. Here Anneka has created a green haven for tropical plants, birds and wildlife as well as an area for composting and growing organic vegetables. Anneka advises on how to bring lost and endangered British plants and animals back into our back gardens and recently was invited to become patron to World Animal Day in order to be able to give advise to children on how best to achieve these goals.







Anneka writes for many of the top wildlife and dog magazines on a regular basis and also is a guru on eco friendly alternatives to modern day living and eco friendly food.
