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.

Easy gentle reminders on Veggie Thursdays to bring us into the season of giving ♡ and doing good!
Did you know this? (Having meat-free meals)
Turkeys are intelligent and sensitive animals that are highly social. They create lasting social bonds with each other and are very affectionate; rather similar to dogs!
Imagine the whole new different meaning THANKSGIVING will bring if we make a little change in every celebrating family! =)

This week, ACRES was graced by an enthusiastic bunch of individuals from the Singapore Boys Home. Not only did they get to learn about our work, they also spent a few hours helping us paint our new night-dens for the sanctuary. The boys also put their creative thinking skills to use by helping us figure out solutions to some issues we were still facing with our night-dens. Our many thanks to them and their teacher, Mr Patrick and we hope they will come back to volunteer with us again.

Mag grooming her sibling, Lola before their afternoon nap.
Macaques live in a close knit family group. Grooming activity is vital for the macaques as they foster and strengthen family ties. This is a common sight when you visit nature reserves. Take time to capture moments like this but do remember to keep a respectable distance!
Help these native wildlife by contributing to this cause as more than 30 runners run to fund raise for ACRES at the upcoming Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore. #f...
