MACAQUE AT PUNGGOL CAUGHT BY AVA!

DIPS, THE COBRA
Dips is an Equatorial spitting cobra who had slipped into a pool in an unoccupied property and couldn't get out as the surface was too slippery.
Even though cobras are good swimmers, Dips could have died from exhaustion and drowning, if not for a kind real estate agent who noticed Dips and called our hotline for help, and our officers Carmen Choong and Lester attended to Dips.
Dips has been safely rescued and released!

A BIRTHDAY GIFT (IT FORWARD)
As parents, you might be familiar with the amount of material goods that kids receive at birthday parties. Gift-It-Forward was founded last year as a simple and fun way to teach children about social responsibility, and ACRES is a beneficiary.
How it works:
When the birthday celebrant sends out party invitations through this site, they can set up a gift fund that friends and family can contribute to instead of buying gifts. A portion of the fund (50-100%) will go...

WILDLIFE OR PESTS? – THE NEED FOR AWARENESS
A few months ago, based on feedback from a concerned resident, ACRES ACIU (Animal Crime Investigation Unit) investigated a video sent to us. It showed bats trapped in a netting used by a pest control operator, resulting in entanglement of the bats, who were subsequently contained in a plastic bag.
