We all grew up as children recognising compassion naturally but what happened in the process of growing up?
Intensive Farming is the greatest cause of suffering on earth. Do you think this is a statement you will agree if you value the life of farm animals to a certain degree? =)
"What if we concluded that nothing in the history of human tragedy comes close in terms of numbers, no wars, no disease, no genocide." - A year to help.
How can we help to decrease such intense factory farming? Let'...

"I come in peace"
The art of balance - Bobby is a young male who lives in the Bukit Batok Nature Park with his family. Due to his inquisitive nature, he spends most of his time following and learning from the adult males in his family. He is usually spotted on the highest point of a tree.
Long-tailed macaques are primarily arboreal and can leap distances between trees up to five meters, using their long tails for balance. They move quadrupedally through the canopy and spend some amount of time...

"I'm Coming Home"
Suzzie was a victim of illegal snares - a cruelty done by one of us. Her family had to leave her as she couldn't keep up with them. Due to the severity of the injury, she fractured her left arm and lost 4 of her fingers. She had to undergo 2 major operations, which left vets nearly amputating her arm. Despite struggli...

As we speak, 40 runners have already crossed the start line at the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore! #forACRES
The runners will be battling through various obstacles before reaching the finishing line. And when their legs get tired, they will be running with their heart - all towards a mission to fund raise and help the wildlife. Many lives are still in urgent need for help but we need funds to continue with our 24-Hour Wildlife rescue.
Please consider making a contribution towards this ...

Tomorrow is Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore! #forACRES
Exotic wild animals who are illegally sold and kept as pets in Singapore are often found abandoned in parks and nature reserves, discarded by owners who no longer wish to take care of them. They may also be found wandering around housing areas, or in fact anywhere in Singapore. These animals often cannot survive in Singapore’s environment and may slowly starve to death or succumb to disease. If they do survive, they will compete wit...

Snaps, the reticulated python was rescued from the front of a house after being threatened to be chopped to pieces and stepped upon while he was peacefully snoozing behind a flower pot. Rescued native animals are released straight back into the wild whenever possible, but sometimes the reptiles and amphibians need a period of treatment at the AWRC and are released back into the wild at a later date, once they are fit and health...

The British Club Magazine in Singapore was offering discounted tickets for members to visit the dolphin enclosure at Resorts World Sentosa and both Oscar (age 11) and Ella (13 years old) took exception to this! Thinking that the British Club's decision to run this advertisement was based on ignorance, Oscar wrote to the General Manager explaining the cruelty of such treatment of animals, in this case, wild catch dolphins and their on-going torture having to entertain the audiences.

Our huge custom-made fibreglass tanks have arrived. These huge 3m by 1.5 m tanks are for our Soft-shelled turtles. To try and keep them together without territorial disputes, we had to ensure that they will have a large space to live in. The next step would be to put the tanks together and build the surrounding areas for our turtles to bask and have a nice habitat to live in. This is where we will need your help on Decembers ACRES volunteer day!!

Can you imagine a creature much smaller then you saving your life? MEET THE HERO RATS!!
Did you know that rodents actually play a big part in our lives. In Tanzania for example, land mines are a serious form of pollution that leaves large geographical areas virtually uninhabitable. African giant pouch rats are much lighter in weight compared to a full grown man. Hence their weight would not be able to trigger and set off the land mines that they are trained to sniff and detect!! CLICK LIKE AND ...

Its 5 more days to Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore! #forACRES
As Singapore’s wild animals have increasingly less and less space to live in with increased urbanization, many find themselves having to live near to human habitations. Wild animals frequently find themselves stuck in people’s homes, or trapped on busy roads, often getting injured along the way. And this can happen any time, night or day.
That’s why ACRES runs our wildlife rescue services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,...

George who lives in the Bukit Batok Nature Park with his signature pose. He was running his hand on the crown of his head after a series of 'wrestling' with the younger macaques in the troop.
It is always nice to welcome humor as we go along in our daily mission to protect the animals. And through George, let us remember that each animal is an individual. Macaques are highly intelligent animals. And what makes a family is a combination of different unique characters.
