𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐍: 𝐏𝐎𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐆𝐋𝐔𝐄

As we advocate for a ban on glue traps in Singapore, commercially purchased glue for poaching birds is a growing concern.

ACRES attended to recent reports involving wildlife victims such as white-throated kingfisher, olive-backed sunbirds and Oriental magpie robin. Unfortunately, all these birds died from stress.

Glue is typically dark-coloured and is often applied to bare twigs or tree barks, where unsuspecting birds may perch.

1️⃣ 𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Take clear photos and videos to record the poaching attempt.

2️⃣ 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Look for any suspicious individuals or vehicles that may be associated with the traps and note down plate numbers (if any).

3️⃣ 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: Contact NParks hotline at 1800 476 1600 or file a case at https://tinyurl.com/ACRESCRIME

𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐝:

Please contact our wildlife rescue hotline at 9783 7782 immediately. Do not attempt to remove the bird yourself without guidance, as improper handling can cause further harm. Alternatively, you can reach out to the NParks hotline for assistance.

We truly appreciate the community for being our eyes and ears and for filing these reports. Your efforts continue to be instrumental in helping us work with estate management and enforcement to put effective deterrents in place.
