Last week, they made their last visit to ACRES for 2014. The students were tasked to prepare some d...

You might think that leaving behind a sweet wrapper is harmless. But multiply that by a hundred and the hazards they bring leads to a cascading number of problems.
The Long-tailed macaques naturally live on the edge of the forest. Too often when there is an overlap in living space between the wildlife and humans - conflict occurs. But these conflicts can be rectified when the root of the problem are being addressed. Taking Lower Peirce Nature Reserve as one case study, find out and understand w...

"A Home for Blue"
Have you ever wondered why our logo is a blue monkey? Well, it is indeed inspired by a special monkey named Blue - who was the first animal rescued from the illegal wildlife trade by ACRES.
Blue was rescued from a miserable life as a ‘pet’ here in Singapore, kept alone, chained up in a small cage. It was no life for a free-spirited monkey.
When we first met Blue, he lived alone, in a small cage, attached to the bars by a chain around his neck. His short chain meant there...

Upon learning that dairy cows were made to work terribly hard in order to produce the milk on market demands, a compassionate young lady from Children Primaryland Student Care was heard murmuring with a shudder, "I don't want to take cow milk anymore."
We humans are given the ability to feel compassion beating in our hearts. All we need to do is to answer the call - the call to #endanimalcruelty .
Answer the call at the ACRES Charity Car Wash this Sunday. https://www.facebook.com/ACRESasia/ph...

What if we saw everything around us, that we so often take for granted once again for the first or the last time?
Massive demands calls for massive production, transport and the list goes on.
How can everyone help? We have all heard of the famous three 'R'. Reuse, REDUCE and recycle. Will reduction help? Yes definitely, remember - "Never doubt that a small group of people can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has." - M.Mead
We can put an end to animal cruelty by being t...

"I'm belong to a family now''
Angelina was discovered being kept at a temple in Singapore, and was even dressed up in doll's clothes when we rescued her. Following her rescue, Angelina was successfully introduced to and integrated into a group of macaques with whom she now lives very happily!

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...
