THANK YOU, WARPIGS!
Today, we want to mention a special group who have tirelessly supported the animals! They are Warpigs Singapore: a motorcycle club whose members have a soft spot for animals and want to end animal cruelty!
Warpigs approached us last December and helped us with fundraising during our ACRES ‘End Animal Cruelty’ carwash. Two weeks ago, they continued their efforts during our World Animal Day event, providing photo opportunities and joyrides for excited donors!
So thank yo...

SATURDAY CRIME NIGHT – RISING CONCERNS OVER RED-EARED SLIDER RELEASES
Did you know that the red-eared slider (terrapin) - a species commonly spotted in Singapore’s parks and reservoirs- is actually not native to Singapore, and is in fact native to North America?
Often found for sale (legally) in pet shops as hatchlings, they are bought to be kept as pets. They are often on sale for just a few dollars, encouraging impulse-buying. Unfortunately, many people don’t realise that these tiny h...

NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUNDUP: 16 OCTOBER 2015
1. (Top left) Goal is a reticulated python who was found tangled up in a goal post. Thanks to the concerned member of the public who called our hotline, Goal was safely freed by our rescue team. Reticulated pythons are one of the commonly sighted non-venomous snakes native to Singapore. They feed mainly on rats, and they use the drains and canals to navigate around looking for rodents. If sighted in canals, parks and nature spaces, please remember...

SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS?
ACRES is conducting research on the dolphins in Singapore waters. We aim to establish population numbers, estimate the distribution, analyse the social structure and identify the threats faced by the dolphins. We aim to develop conservation strategies to protect the dolphins in our waters.
A lot of you have asked if the research involves SWIMMING with the dolphins. The answer is NO. We are conducting non-invasive research from a boat, keeping an appropriate distance t...

JOEY’S BASKING SPOT
Joey is a Chinese softshell turtle who was rescued in late 2013 with a severely deformed shell. She had been (illegally) kept by a member of public for over 10 years.
When we receive new animals, we take time to observe their behaviour, to understand what they like to do, their favourite food, basking spot, hiding spots, etc. Our turtle enclosures are designed such that half the enclosure receives natural sunlight for half the day. We observed that Joey liked to use her ...

SAYONARA MASAKO-SAN!
Shimomura Masako, an international volunteer from Japan, showed much professionalism working at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre recently, despite the hazy conditions in Singapore. She has been through thick and thin (haze) with us and, instead of complaining, she volunteered to follow the wildlife rescue team on their missions to understand more about our native wildlife.
In exchange for the knowledge she acquired during her stay with us, she offered to whip up some wonde...

SATURDAY CRIME NIGHT – WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY
Wildlife photography is challenging. It requires sound technical skill, intimate knowledge of the animal's behaviour, and an abundance of patience. Capturing a wild animal on camera - in all its splendour - is a high point for all wildlife photographers.
However, in their quest to capture the best shots, a few photographers resort to unethical means and shortcuts that harm animals. That is an abject way of photographing animals. It is worthy of the...
