Miss Earth 2014
"An unpolluted environment is our legacy."

—Ana Batarelo's message for Miss Earth.

According to her interview,[1] Croatia's national director for Miss Earth contacted Batarelo's modelling agency after seeing her private personal Facebook account. Sanja Popovic Bjedov and Tamara Roglić told her about that news and she gladly accepted the responsibility of representing Croatia. Sanja Popovic Bjedov and Tamara Roglić serve as her mentor for her preparation to the pageant. She also thinks that her short hair is her advantage in the competition. She says that a short hair is quite unusual in a pageant scene.

Being designated as her country's representative, Batarelo flew to the Philippines in November to compete with almost 100 other candidates to be Alyz Henrich's[4][5] successor as Miss Earth.

As a Miss Earth delegate, an environmental advocacy is must. When she was asked about her advocacy for the pageant, she answered, "Clean and clear water." She explained that Croatia has the fourth cleanest waters in world and also because of Adriatic Sea.

When she was asked about what to promote in her country, Croatia, Batarelo answered history of their country is what she can promote together with "...the proud and hospitable people and beautiful landscape."
