DOLPHIN SIGHTING IN THE EASTERN STRAITS!
Signing in from the dolphin team!
Just this month alone, we have had news of 4 dolphin sightings from fishermen and members of public. We were so elated when we got the news! Thankfully, the fishermen manage to film their encounter with the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins in the Eastern waters. We are grateful to them for sharing this moment with us and so we are passing on to you guys. Happy viewing!

MIDORI GETS A REVAMPED ENCLOSURE!
Unlike the rescued tortoises, who get to enjoy the outdoors at our Main Sanctuary Area, the green iguanas in our care have to be kept indoors at the present time. They are great escape artists, and their awesome ability to climb makes it difficult to create an outdoor enclosure for them for the time being. While we work towards providing them with a better home in the future, we strive to give them the best we can for now.
We make sure we revamp our iguana en...

WHAT’S A LONE MALE MACAQUE DOING IN TOWN?
The ACRES Macaque Team often receives calls from members of the public reporting sightings of lone male macaques in highly urbanised area. You often hear about or see pictures of them via social media. Too often these images project the wrong message for these highly misunderstood animals. For those who have not seen a wild macaque, they find situations like these very alarming and bizarre. There is an explanation for this.
Do you know that male maca...

SINGAPOREANS DO NOT SUPPORT THE CONSUMPTION OF SHARK’S FIN
Only 10% of Singaporeans feel that the consumption of shark’s fin should be allowed, in a survey commissioned by ACRES and conducted independently by Millward Brown early this year.
It is estimated that over a 100 million sharks are killed each year for their fins. Shark populations are now reduced by 70% in some species and up to 98% in species including tiger sharks, hammerhead sharks, bull sharks and blacktip sharks. Sharks are...

SAVE MARINE ANIMALS: BIN THAT LITTER
Whilst roaming through the beautiful waters of the Southern Islands by boat, we passed a section of the sea filled with rubbish. It seemed as if the waves were trying to get rid to the litter by ‘sweeping’ the litter into one area, only to realise it can’t actually get rid of the mess. It was a truly sad sight.
Many marine animals are affected and killed by our harmful action of littering: they choke on or ingest hazardous items; they get trapped and ...

MEET MILK, THE LATEST INDIAN STAR TORTOISE TO BE RESCUED BY ACRES
Milk was rescued after being abandoned at a vet clinic. She was apparently kept illegally as a pet for about eight years, and then the owners decided they that didn’t want her any longer. The fact that she has an abscess on her face could have been one factor in the owners abandoning her: because they didn’t want to pay the vet bills. Indian star tortoises do not make good pets and are difficult to take care of. They also req...
