Help stop cruel "Animal Liberation"!

Part of our work in ACRES involves in the rehabilitation of our rescued animals from the illegal wildlife trade. This week, we
made some changes to our medium-sized male Star tortoise enclosures. We made changes to this enclosure in particular, as this group were adapting very well to the outdoor environment. They have also showed increased levels of activity. We decided to take their enclosure set-up to the next level by adding new plants that enhance their environment through color and terrain...

Remember Mia ? The first macaque that we rescued from a fractured pelvis, rehabilitated for 2 intensive months and released successfully? It has been 8 months since she began her new life with her troop and this afternoon, we managed to catch a glimpse of her up close and personal. Have a look at her then and now!
"Mia has grown to be a beautiful young lady and seeing her today was magical. At first she hesitated but gradually, she came forward towards me. She cant speak but through the facial ...

Adisa, our Savannah monitor lizard is one of the newest residents in ACRES. She was found roaming at a private residential area.
Unlike our native Water monitor lizards, Savannah monitor lizards are much smaller but with a stocky body built. They can grow up to 5 feet in length. They feed on insects and mollusks but will also eat eggs and rodents. They also tend to spend more time in burrows unlike Water monitor lizards who are more often spotted along river banks.

All of us were treated to the sight of cherry blossoms ; the flowers of the Trumpet Tree following the aftermath of a prolonged period of dry spell in the recent month. And while the rest of the young macaques get to play and roll on the flowers alongside with their families in the wild, Suzzie doesn't get to experience that.
BUT! there is no way that we are letting her be at a disadvantage! We flooded her holding place with the very same flowers. Its been 13 weeks since she was rescued and thi...
