OUR WILD NEIGHBOURS: WILD BOAR
We’re very lucky in Singapore to share our island home with a huge variety of wild animals, although many of these animals are rarely encountered and remain somewhat of a mystery to many people.
We’ll be sharing information about our fascinating wild neighbours every Wednesday, so that we can start to understand them better, starting with wild boars!
Wild boars are medium-sized animals. They live in groups (called sounds), and they are usually nocturnal, bein...

BE A CHANGEMAKER: JOIN THE CHONG PANG PUBLIC FORUM ON ANIMAL PROTECTION POLICIES
It’s fantastic that nowadays there are so many groups rescuing animals. This work is important but our ultimate aim must be to eradicate the need for such rescues. To really move forward for the animals, we need to solve the root causes of animal abuse/suffering, and one way we can achieve this is through changes at policy level.
Join this year’s event to learn about the positive progress for animals that occu...

ROSSA’S RESCUE
Everyone can play a part in helping and protecting our native wildlife. Many times, all it takes is just a touch of compassion and initiative.
When a group of construction workers spotted Rossa on their first day back at work after Chinese New Year, she was lying in the middle of a construction site at Rifle Range Road and obviously in a bad way. So they called the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Hotline.
Rossa was covered with sand, severely dehydrated and hypoglycaemic. Inflammation o...

A LIFE SAVED: THANK YOU, JASPER!
With the festive season almost coming to an end, we want to share a happy story about a donor who cared for our wildlife: Jasper!
Our rescue team got a call from Jasper, whose dog alerted him to a paradise tree snake that had ended up on his balcony. His neighbour saw the snake and wanted to kill it, thinking it was dangerous. But, thankfully, Jasper knew better, and called the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Hotline, and the rescue team was soon on the way to rescue the...

KEEP THEM WILD AND FREE: SLOW LORIS
Here begins a series on the illegal exotic pet trade in Singapore. Tune in every Saturday for features on the beautiful wild animals that we are - with your help – working hard to keep wild and free, and not kept as pets.
In today’s segment, we feature the lovely, wide-eyed, highly endangered slow loris.

3 MORE DAYS LEFT TO SHOW YOUR WARMTH TO THE ANIMALS!
We still need your help to meet the target!
Here is the story of one of the animals you’ll be helping:
Last Christmas was a special day not only for our rescue team, but also for a tiny fellow barely 40 cm long.
The ACRES Wildlife Rescue Team was called when someone spotted a snake in their house, sneaking under under a sliding door. When the team reached the location, they were surprised to find that the snake was not a native species...
