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.

Boltz, who is our biggest Giant Asian pond turtle, was found along Yishun dam where he was run over by a lorry. He endured months of pain and treatment and has since successfully recovered.
Here he is frantically tr...
