Why does our ACRES logo feature a dancing blue monkey?

Today marks the 9th anniversary of Ramba’s passing. I still miss her loads and I wish I could have done more for her…

FALLING IN LOVE WITH RAMBA
“On 5th April 2004, Ramba, a female chimp at Singapore Zoo escaped from her enclosure. She was darted by a zoo personnel, fell into a reservoir and drowned. It was a tragic death for a chimp that deserv...
