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...

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!

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.

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...

I managed to spend some time playing with Mikey today as well!
Thank you to the owners for meeting with me and thanks to Shannon for his help too.
Thank you to those who wrote to m...

ART FOR A GOOD CAUSE!
Did you know that art has been used as a therapy for people suffering from various disorders and illnesses, such as depression and dementia? If art can be a medicine for humans, why can’t it be for animals as well?
The Art Club of Zhonghua Secondary School is putting their kind intentions to action, taking the first step forward by visiting us at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre on the 6th of March! They have gained more knowledge and understanding of our precious nativ...
