Campaigning for world leaders to act on climate change since she was 15 years old.
Aneeshwar Kunchala loves spending time outdoors. He particularly loves spotting birds and wondering how they are related to his favourite dinosaurs! Aneeshwar’s journey as a Conservationist and a change-maker began when he was just 4 years old; his teacher showed him a picture of a whale that had died because it had eaten plastic. This made Aneeshwar feel sad and determined to do something about it. He realized that pollution, like plastic in the oceans, was hurting animals and their homes. He decided to use his talents to spread the word about how we can all help. He believes every animal has a “superpower” and that humans have one, too: we are SMART! By being kind to nature and learning to live in harmony with it, we can make the world a better place.
Through his art, poems, and documentaries, Aneeshwar wants to inspire other kids to care about wildlife and conservation. At the age of 7, Aneeshwar had an incredible opportunity to present a documentary called COP27: 6 Ways to Save Our Planet for the United Nations. He became the youngest documentary presenter ever, earning a Guinness World Record for his achievement. Aneeshwar holds multiple Guinness World Records for his work. Since then, he has traveled the world, giving speeches and presenting at big events like Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent to share his message about saving the planet to millions of people around the world. Aneeshwar has also been honored with many awards for his work. He is a Global Child Prodigy Award winner, a BBC Blue Peter Gold Badge holder, and even received a letter from Sir David Attenborough, his hero! He’s used these platforms to encourage children everywhere to take action for the environment.
His documentary, Save Our Wildlife, explores how climate change is affecting animals, and he recently launched his book, Adventures of a Young Naturalist – Arctic Expedition. Through it all, Aneeshwar has been a true leader in conservation. Whether he’s bird-watching in India, speaking to business leaders in Oslo, or exploring the Arctic, his mission is clear: to make the world a better place for all living creatures. He says, “Please save the animals and make sure the world looks beautiful.” Aneeshwar proves that no matter how young you are, you can make a difference. He hopes to inspire kids everywhere to follow their passions and protect our planet—because we all share it!
