OUR WISHLIST FOR 2015: SMALL WISHES THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE!
This is a lime butterfly caterpillar whom we found at our ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre; one of the many interesting creatures we are blessed to come across.
Sometimes, it's the smallest things that could eventually become something beautiful.
If you think the contributions you make are small, think again. We have seen small contributions help the animals flourish and blossom and, more often than not, it’s the ones given with t...

HELP THE MACAQUES HAVE A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE.
Manuka, a young long-tailed macaque, was found badly injured and taking shelter in a backyard. The injuries he had sustained appeared to be due to collision with a vehicle. Despite all our efforts to revive him, he sadly passed away. Not every macaque rescue has a positive ending, but let us recall the successful rescue stories.
In 2013, we managed to rescue, rehabilitate and release Mia, who had suffered a ruptured pelvis, probably due to a coll...

ANIMAL TRIVIA: SUGAR GLIDER
Sugar gliders are amazing little animals. Their scientific name, Petaurus breviceps, translates from Latin as "short-headed rope-dancer", a reference to their canopy acrobatics!
This tiny native of Australia is sadly commonly kept and sold as a pet, and you may see sugar gliders being illegally advertised for sale in Singapore: it is illegal to buy, sell or keep sugar gliders here. Unfortunately, we’ve had to rescue many sugar glider victims of the illegal exotic...

COMPASSION IN ACTION!
So, last week’s #ACRESThanksYou Sunday was about kids, and for this week, we want to showcase the adults! Recently, a beautiful civet – one of Singapore’s most elusive native mammals- decided to bunk in with the Tan family, but he got trapped - probably trying to explore their roof. What heartens us is the compassion Fabian and Elaine had towards the shy animal as, rather than calling a pest control company, they called us to rescue and relocate the civet to a more s...

YOU'RE NEVER TOO YOUNG TO BE AN ADVOCATE FOR ANIMALS!
Who says that kids can't make a difference?
10 year-olds at Frontier Primary School are doing their part to help animals, by distributing their handmade brochures about animal protection to the rest of their school! What a brilliant way to let others know how to help animals, and make a big difference in this world!

VEGGIE THURSDAY: VEGAN MEATBALLS?!
Pssst…have you heard that Ikea is about to launch a vegan version of its legendary meatballs? It’s great when popular, mainstream chains include more vegetarian/vegan options on the menu: a sure sign that more and more people are requesting ethical, plant-based meals; whether they are full-time vegetarians/vegans, or simply reducing the amount of animal products in their diet- which is what Singapore’s Veggie Thursday movement is all about!
Why don’t ...

FAREWELL AND THANK YOU TO INTERNS SU-EN AND SARA!
Over the past month, second year veterinary students Chua Su-En and Sara Oka, from Melbourne University, have been interning with us at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre (AWRC). They have really taken ownership of their roles, taking excellent care of the animals at the centre. Su-En and Sara joined us at a crucial time, when 85% of the rescued tortoises had recently been moved to outdoor enclosures. Their commitment to taking care of the animals...

REMEMBERING MARJORIE
Today we take a moment to remember, with great fondness, a true legend in animal protection and kindness to all beings: the late Marjorie Doggett. Marjorie was a true inspiration to all of us working to help and protect animals, and was instrumental in the formation of ACRES nearly 14 years ago.
Yesterday would have been Marjorie’s birthday. Here we share a beautiful tribute to this amazing lady written by Vadivu, a co-founder of ACRES, which was originally posted on h...
