Hawksbill Turtle Release
23rd Aug 2013, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
Here’s a short clip featuring an animal you may see in Singapore- if you’re lucky! It’s an endangered hawksbill turtle hatchling.
Yesterday afternoon, this little fellow was found looking very lost on a grass patch at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal- maybe not far from the sea for us, but a dangerously long way from the sea for such a small animal. We think he’d probably got disorientated after hatching from his shell and, instead of heading towards the ocean, he’d wandered inland, and w...

This month, we’re delighted to be supporting a group of students from Temasek Junior College on their ‘No Fin No Sin’ project, through our Animal Protectors Grant scheme. Their project aims to reduce the consumption of sharks fin soup in Singapore by encouraging young Chinese couples who are about to tie the knot not to include sharks fin soup in their wedding banquet menu. Check out one of their brilliant postcard designs (pictured)! These postcards are being given to couples to place on ...

Planing for a different September holiday? How about this for a holiday!
Put the life back into wildlife:
Hug was found alone in a small cage outside a mechanic's shop. Thankfully, a kind traveler came across Hug and negotiated his release. Then began his long journey by boat and bus, crossing two provinces to arrive at ACRES Lao PDR. Today, he's found a new family in a group of fellow macaques. And a new home. We would like to keep it that way - with your help.

Valerie was found in a weak condition and this resulted in her having metabolic bone disease. She wasn’t active at all and her appetite was almost non-existent. ACRES then started documenti...
