ONE MORE DAY TO THE SWIM CHALLENGE! #runclimbswimACRES
We’ve had a tough time trying to secure a venue sponsor for our swim challenge. Huge thanks go to our one of our board directors for their assistance, and the charitable Tanah Merah Country Club Garden Course for allowing us to use their pool. We are truly grateful to them for their helping hand, as this event would not be possible without them!
Right now, we have 8 swimmers who’ve pledged to be there on the 30th of July to max out t...

BLOODSHORT GOES FOR A SWIM!
As you might know, we’ve recently been busy revamping our snake enclosures and moving them into our quarantine. Bloodshort was one of the last snakes to have his enclosure relocated. Here’s a video of him enjoying and investigating his fresh new enclosure set up! We changed his water bowl to a tub to allow him to soak in the water. Blood pythons live in habitats close to or within water bodies such as rivers and swamps.
Unfortunately, blood pythons are poached ...

THEY DID IT - FOR THE ANIMALS! PLEASE MAKE A DONATION TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!
“It took us a total of 3 days to reach the summit. Despite the cold winds and heat from the scorching sun, clambering up the steep slopes and experiencing some physical challenges, we are so happy to have made it to the top!
The journey there didn’t start off too well, when my luggage got stolen from at Lombok airport. Before the climb even started, Priscilla was down with a fever bug and some of us experienced a...

TOGETHER, Let’s End Tiger Trade.
The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest of the Asian cats. Tigers can weigh up to 660 pounds and can reach 10 feet in length. Unlike many cats, tigers are excellent swimmers and love the water. Each tiger has unique set of stripes, and this helps with individual identification in the wild.
It is shocking and disheartening that wild tiger numbers have decreased by 95% over the last century. Reasons include habitat loss and widespread poaching for variou...

ERNIE GOES OUTDOORS INTO THE SANCTUARY!
Back in February, we shared a post about Ernie, a rescued female giant Asian pond turtle. Ernie is a timid turtle and was not welcomed by Audrey into the enclosure for female giant Asian pond turtles. During the attempted introduction, Ernie was on the receiving end of a bad bite from Audrey and needed to go back into quarantine to receive treatment.

HELP US HELP THE MACAQUES!
Signing in from the Macaque Team! Just when we were embarking on our latest project to save macaques, our macaque rescue van broke down. We are in urgent need for help to repair the rescue van. Since the launch of the ACRES Macaque Team in 2013, the van has enabled us to save the lives of several macaques. We have travelled island-wide with the van: responding to macaque emergency calls, conducting field studies and, most recently, experimenting with the new Monkey G...
