You made this happened -- Thank you volunteers!
The ACRES sanctuary has undergone a lot of changes through the past 1 year since the first day that volunteers started to work on it on the 13th of April 2013. A lot of hard work has been put into this small piece of land which has made a big difference to our animals. It has also been a learning experience for us at ACRES as we still continue to learn more about our animals, what environment they prefer, amount of shade they require, how we can e...

However did you know that out of all the native wildlife in Singapore, Iguanas are not native to our sunny island at all. Iguanas are a popular choice of pets; legal to be kept in countries like America, where they are native to.
Iguanas however are not easy to be care for in captivity spending most ...

Here's something to kickstart your weekend - a sneak peek into the secret life of a very shy animal!
We stumbled upon 3 Banded leaf monkeys while we were following a troop of Long-tailed macaques. Although they are globally listed as vulnerable, they are one of the rarest mammals in Singapore where they were first described in 1838. Once roaming various forests on the island, this elusive animal is now critically endangered and only found in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve.

Last week, the ACRES Macaque Team successfully herded a troop of macaques out of a condominium within 15 minutes!
Residents and security guards witnessed the process for the first time. The team quickly reacted with accordance to the macaques facial expressions and body language, while still keeping a respectable distance between the macaques. The macaques have been entering the condo premises due to availability of food.
Its been a week since the herding and residents have given positive fee...

How many of you still remember Mia, the young female macaque that we rescued, rehabilitated and successfully released back into the wild last year?
1 year later, we paid her a visit. Have a look at the pictures to see how beautiful she has grown! She is also using all 4 limbs now! This is the very same macaque who fractured her pelvis and had to go through 6 weeks of intensive rehabilitation.
Does she recognize us when we visited her?
Here's what Sabrina from the Macaque Team has to say:
