NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUNDUP: 3rd JUNE 2016
1. Silver, a reticulated python, had a bad start to the morning: she was found stuck in a drain between the metal bars. We suspect that Silver tried to squeeze into a gap that was too small for her, and she ended up in a position where she was unable to move on either side of the grill. We are grateful to the very cooperative Tanjong Pagar Town Council staff member Sally and her team, for carefully cutting the metal bars, so that we could safely res...

RARE GLIMPSE OF A BANDED FILE SNAKE
31st May 2016, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
Singapore is home to more than 50 species of snakes. Most of them live inland in our nature reserves, and some have adapted to living in urbanised areas due to the presence of prey animals such as rats and frogs.
There are also a few snakes species that live along or around our coastal areas, such as the native banded kraits and yellow-lipped sea krait. Another species that prefers this habitat is the banded file snake. Here, we get a glimpse of a baby banded file snake making his way into the...

MORE PROTECTION FOR MARINE TURTLES IN SINGAPORE
We’re delighted with this latest initiative to help protect vulnerable marine turtles!

Soon, turtle eggs will have a safe place to develop should they need protection, with plans being made for Singapore’s first sea turtle hatchery, supported by a $500,000 donation from HSBC Singapore.

HELP END THE ILLEGAL AND CRUEL RELEASE OF RED-EARED SLIDERS
In the past week alone, we have unfortunately been alerted to several red eared-sliders who have been cruelly released/abandoned in Singapore. Please help to spread the word that the release of these animals is not only illegal, but can also cause a lot of suffering to the animals, not to mention having a negative impact on Singapore’s wildlife.
Red-eared sliders or terrapins are one of the most widely traded turtles for the pet tra...

SHARING THE PLANET WITH CHATSWORTH EAST’S GRADE 6 STUDENTS
And it feels terrific!
A month ago, eight Grade 6 students from Chatsworth International School (East Campus) paid ACRES HQ a visit. Each of them was planning to hold an exhibition at their school on animal welfare/animal rights, so they wanted to enquire more about the topic close to their hearts.
It was an honour for our Education Team to be invited to view the work of the students at the exhibition. It was titled ‘Sharing the P...

SOMEONE LOOKED FOR ENERGY IN THE WRONG PLACE!
From time to time, the ACRES wildlife rescue team encounters strange and at times…silly cases. Taurine, the equatorial spitting cobra got himself in a fix – when taking a sniff inside a Redbull drink can. Reasons why he did that? – we would never know. Unfortunately, the only thing he got was his head stuck in the can, and he definitely needed some help.
Watch and share this silly and adorable rescue video and please support our rescue work ...

7 MORE DAYS TILL OUR GALA DINNER!
Bluebell is a young collared kingfisher. We often get alerted to cases of baby birds who have fallen from their nests. Without their mothers, they cannot survive, so we try to find their nest and reunite them. Successful reunions are among the most rewarding experiences for our Wildlife Rescue Team!
At our 15th anniversary charity gala on the 20th of May, we’re hoping to raise $180,000 so that we can continue to help animals in need, just like Bluebell. The ...
