BIKE AND ROSSA HEAD HOME!
Look at them go!
It’s always heart-warming to see the animals that we've rescued recover and greet their natural home once again. Catch this short clip as Bike and Rossa return back home after 1 month of intensive care and rehabilitation for their injuries.
ACRES would like to thank Nparks for their support and Animal Recovery and Veterinary Referral Centre (ARVC) for providing optimal veterinary care for Bike and Rossa.

SUPER GOOD NEWS!!
One month on since we ended our #WarmthForWalnut campaign (to provide enclosures for sick tortoises and rescued snakes), donations still kept pouring in!
The last time we updated you, we were delighted to share that we were more than halfway to reaching the target amount. Now, thanks to your kind contributions, we have just reached $21,525 out of the $22,000 we set out to raise!
Words cannot describe how grateful we are, on behalf of the rescued animals who deserve a second ...

KEEP THEM WILD AND FREE: GREEN IGUANA
This is Valerie, a green iguana: a native of The Americas.
Green iguanas can grow to human length, and are equipped with strong jaws, razor-sharp teeth, powerful claws, and sharp tails that are about half their body length. Males are typically aggressive and territorial. Iguanas are notoriously difficult to care for - most dying within their first year of captivity, or turned loose by their owners.
Valerie was found abandoned in Singapore and in a severel...

FLIP AND FLOP REUNITED WITH THEIR PARENTS!
Nothing beats a rescue that ends in a perfect successful reunion of lost young animals with their parent/s!
Flip and Flop are two little mynah chicks (top left), who were found on the ground one night. We ensured that Flip and Flop were kept safe overnight, and returned to the exact location in the morning to attempt a reunion with their parents.
We were thrilled to find two adult mynahs hanging around, and hoped that they were the parents of Flip a...

THE INTRODUCED, THE NATIVE AND THE ILLEGAL
For this week, let’s look at 3 species of lizard that can be found at ACRES- either being cared for at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre or living free. These 3 lizards are significant in certain ways.
We often get asked what is wrong with keeping an exotic animal as a pet. One big problem is the fact that animals that have been kept as pets (legally or illegally) often get abandoned and left to fend for themselves. Whilst many of these animals wil...

THANK YOU TO DAEUN AND SONIA FROM THE GERMAN EUROPEAN SCHOOL!
This March, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming DaEun and Sonia from the German European School to volunteer with us at the outdoor Sanctuary Area at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre.
The work was challenging and tiring for them at first, as it is for everyone! However, at the end of the programme, the girls have learnt to work independently and cooperatively and have been a fantastic help!
Our volunteer programmes provide a uniq...

YOU ARE THE VOICE FOR THE ANIMALS- THANK YOU!
Someone once shared this story with us:
"I once dreamt that I was walking in the park with my terrapin, Rudy. He could talk, and we had a long and meaningful conversation as we walked. Nearing the end of the journey, he asked me: Why is it that humans just take animals from the wild even though I've seen courteous and kind people around all the time!
I replied: It's because, Rudy, no matter how gracious a person is, those animals cannot tell that...

KEEP THEM WILD AND FREE: LEOPARD CAT
The leopard cat is found throughout Asia, including in Singapore, where it is very rare and believed to be the only wild cat species left. Wild cats have been observed on Pulau Ubin and Pulau Tekong in recent years, but have not been sighted alive on the mainland since 1968, although roadkills were seen in 2001 and 2007.
Unfortunately, this precious cat has become yet another victim of the exotic pet trade.
It is illegal to keep leopard cats as pets in S...
