TODAY IS WORLD MONKEY DAY!
Macaques mostly eat fruits and seeds, dispersing seeds to ensure the survival of many plant species, which in turn supports other wild animals.
With forests that are shrinking and fragmenting, these mammals are getting closer to us. And through observation from a distance, we would realise how similar we are to a monkey troop.
Just like us, long-tailed macaques comfort each other after a conflict to restore relationships. They have a variety of facial expressions f...

Sapphire Flies Free
8th Dec 2017, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
SAPPHIRE FLIES FREE
As the bittern season ends, the pitta season begins.
Like bitterns, stranded pittas may collide into hard surfaces and most often just need a quiet rest in a ventilated dark box, at room temperature, for a few hours to recover.
To help these birds and countless other wild animals in distress, please make a donation today: http://acres.org.sg/donate-now/

Argentina’s Vegan Mondays
5th Dec 2017, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
ONE STEP FORWARD.
THANK YOU, ARGENTINA!
“In a bid to start a debate on health and the national diet, it has instituted meat-free Mondays. For one lunch each week, the canteen (at Casa Rosada – tag “Casa Rosada”) will only serve vegan options to the 500-plus employees, including President Mauricio Macri.
Governments can do more than lead by example. Portugal passed a law this year requiring a vegan option at public institutions.”

A SECOND BITE OF THE B̶I̶S̶C̶U̶I̶T̶ APPLE
Biscuit, a Chinese soft-shelled turtle, had been attacked by another animal before he was found in a drain and promptly rescued by a kind member of public. Biscuit is on his road to recovery and will be provided a home at our wildlife rescue centre.
Non-native to Singapore, these turtles end up in our soups, and often released in the wild by the uninformed.
To sponsor Biscuit’s friends at ACRES, please consider becoming Wildlife Supporter: h...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, AS IT SHOULD BE!
You can do your part as an animal-friendly tourist this holiday season by making conscious choices that do not involve cruelty to animals.
As World Animal Protection rightly puts it, "If you can ride, hug, or take a selfie with a wild animal, chances are the venue is cruel. Don’t go!"
Here are some tips, don’t forget to share!
