Here's a photo of Big Pappa, one of the female Indian star tortoises at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre (AWRC), showing a not-so-appreciative expression when her photo was taken! It’s probably just a random expression and the photo angle…but we can’t help but put a meme to it!

WHEN YOU CALL US YOU POTENTIALLY SAVE AN ANIMAL’S LIFE THANK YOU!
Each year, we get thousands of calls to the ACRES Wildlife Rescue and Crime Hotline (9783 7782). These calls result in thousands of native wild animals being saved, treated and released back into the wild, as well as many other animals being rescued from cases of abandonment and abuse.

Thank you for keeping a watch...

PLEASE HELP TO PROTECT SINGAPORE’S BEAUTIFUL PYTHONS – HELP TO SPREAD THE WORD
Last week, our 24-hr wildlife rescue team received a call about a python sighted in a canal on Jurong West Street 92. To our shock and frustration, we arrived at the scene to find a dead 1.5m long reticulated python in the canal. The python’s head was smashed by a heavy object, which no doubt killed her. There were signs that python had recently eaten an animal, most likely a huge rat, making him/her immobile a...

VOICING OUR CONCERNS FOR THE ANIMALS EXPORTED TO CHINA FROM UNDERWATER WORLD SINGAPORE (UWS)
“Ms Anbarasi Boopal, deputy chief executive of the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres), said UWS should have explored options for rehabilitating its animals to the wild instead of sending them to another marine park, and called for clarifications on how the dolphins will be used at Chimelong.
The marine park is part of a booming industry that reports say is taking a toll on wild po...

Erm… Thank You?
That’s right. There are days when we see objects that we don’t think twice about. Many a times, we tend to overlook their worth, or even get exasperated by them. All the more to be thankful for them? Definitely! Why? They do benefit the animals we share the Earth with, both wild and domesticated.
1. Pillows
That soft, cushiony comfort that we don’t normally think about until our tired bodies sink into them at the end of the day. Ah yes, it’s no wonder we spend time r...

NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUND UP: 17 JUNE 2016
One morning, the Singapore Police Force alerted our rescue team to an immobile reticulated python stuck in a drain at Pasir Ris. Upon arrival, we were touched by the concern shown for the python by the residents.
As we were unable to rescue Mr. Ris easily, we needed to call the Town Council for assistance. A Town Council employee was soon deployed to drill and hack the concrete, so that we could safely remove Mr. Ris from the drain.
As the hacki...

We believe that education and raising awareness are key to addressing animal protection issues and ending animal cruelty. That said, humane education is just one of our six Focus Areas.
Interested to find out about the other four, and why each Focus Area is vital to our work? Watc...
