SAY THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERS FROM SJI INTERNATIONAL!
A group of students from St Joseph's Institution International School (SJI International) volunteered with us from the 30th of March until the 2nd of April. On their first day, they were briefed about the work of ACRES, as well as their duties for the next 3 days. They had a few doubts when they first arrived, as they had no idea what they would encounter! However, at the end of their volunteering stint, they had developed an interest in t...

KEEP THEM WILD AND FREE: HELP US WIPE OUT WILDLIFE CRIME
A wakeup call to all want-to-be exotic pet owners in Singapore!
A Singaporean was caught at Woodlands Checkpoint on the 25th of March 2015 attempting to smuggle a bearded dragon and an iguana, hidden in the spare tyre compartment of his car, into the country. He had purchased the animals in Malaysia, allegedly with the intention of keeping them as pets. His intended pets cost him $5,000 in composition fines.
As iguanas are listed unde...

WE LOVE ANIMALS! HOW ABOUT YOU?
Many thanks to Miss Nirmala for arranging fabulous activities for the ‘We Love Animals’ club at Yishun National Library every month! This March, we were invited to give a sharing on magnificent sharks! The children and parents who attended the session were enthusiastic to learn amazing facts about sharks! They also learned that they should avoid consuming shark’s fins due to the presence of high levels of mercury in them, and also because sharks are disappe...

NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUNDUP: 10th APRIL 2015
Do remember to call the ACRES 24-hour Wildlife Rescue Hotline at 97837782 if you spot any wild animals in Singapore who may need some help.
1. (Left) Can you spot the bird on the top left of the top row of glass panels? Sky, a pink-necked green pigeon, was stuck inside the hall. Thanks to the kind teachers who called us to help the pigeon, our rescue officer put up the ladder and used extensions of nets to rescue Sky. Luckily Sky did not have any...

LET’S CATCH UP WITH KATHORA, AN OLD FRIEND.
Back in 2014, we wrote a Facebook post about a turtle we rescued in Pasir Ris, who had been run over by a vehicle. The poor animal had suffered severe injuries to her carapace, and the trauma had probably caused a permanent dent in her shell as well. Kathora has since come a long way, and is now able to eat and swim independently. She spends most of her time basking in the sun at our sanctuary and showing a 24/7 smiley face to all of us. (:
Her 201...

IN LOVING MEMORY OF RAMBA
Today marks the 11th anniversary of Ramba's passing. Still missing her loads...
Ramba was the inspiration behind the setting up of ACRES in 2001 and the memories of the time I spent with her will always remain in my heart. Still and always thinking of you Ramba.
I've attached the story and poem I wrote 11 years ago.

KEEP THEM WILD AND FREE: LARGE PYTHONS
Giant snakes - such as the Burmese python and reticulated python - can grow to a length of 6 metres – the height of 4 humans! And they can weigh 200 pounds or more. They urinate and defecate as much as a horse does, and you can expect to be caring for them for more than 25 years – one quarter of your lifespan.
All too often, want-to-be owners purchase these large snakes, ignorant or in denial of the immense effort and financial outlay needed. Then, t...

“THE BEST GIFT IN LIFE IS A SECOND CHANCE.”
Many of us would agree to the above statement, especially when we realise that we did not make things right the first time round. Making mistakes is part and parcel of life; everyone deserves to rewrite their bad history. Animals, like us, treasure second chances; more so when they fall into foul luck of becoming someone’s trading item, illegal pet or money-making machine.
It’s never too late to make a positive change! Start today by making ...
