Come and Meet Anneka Svenska, Wildlife Presenter and Conservationist at Colchester Zoo’s World Animal Day on Sunday 3rd October as she visits the many additional activities that are taking place on the day!
‘World Animal Day is a wonderful chance for animal lovers all over the world to come together in solidarity over one extremely important cause. To save and protect the animals on our planet and the delicate environment they live in. Without animals in the world, the world would be a very sad place. We must learn to protect and nurture them and make sure that the world will always stay a place where they can roam free and never become extinct.’

LOUIS BARNETT, Britain's youngest entrepreneur, chocolatier, motivational speaker and avid conservationist.
"It is a great honour to have the opportunity to be a Celebrity World Animal Day Ambassador. We have so little time left to save the many endangered species of animals on our planet. We must take action now if we are to save these remarkable animals, or we can stand back, do nothing and watch them disappear from our world forever.
Since I launched my chocolate business at the age of 12, I have been striving to raise awareness of the plight of
endangered animals and their ever diminishing habitats. World Animal Day gives us a wonderful opportunity to join together and shout with one loud voice - together we can make a difference!
