ACRES WILDLIFE RESCUE CENTRE NOTICEBOARD GETS A MAKEOVER
Our notice board is a focal point for visitors to get a summary of the work that we do with regards to wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. Our previous poster was printed on paper and it started to warp in the constant heat.
However, the kind folks at Maneki Signage Pte Ltd ( https://maneki-signage.sg ) kindly sponsored the printing of our newly revised poster on a weatherproof poly-carbonate board. Now, we have a durable notice board f...

WHEN YOUNG MACAQUES MEET A MONITOR LIZARD
We hear so much about human and wildlife co-existence. But what about other inter-species interactions? Here’s some rare footage of a group of young macaques showing curiosity about a passing monitor lizard.
Watch the video and notice how both parties keep a respectable distance to avoid conflict. The presence of the adult macaques also aids in supervising and fostering harmonious co-existence.

Slow Loris Animal Cruelty
12th Dec 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
SATURDAY CRIME NIGHT – HUNTED AND DEFANGED FOR CAPTIVITY
Did you know that the slow loris - the only venomous primate - is native to Singapore? Tragically, these beautiful creatures often find themselves victims of the illegal wildlife trade, as their appealing look makes them popular as exotic pets. The demand for slow lorises as pets is one of the factors driving them towards extinction.
Here’s why slow lorises are not suitable pets:
1. They are wild animals! Keeping them in captivity pr...

NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE: 11 December 2015
Spotty is a spotted house gecko who became stuck on a glue board inside an advertisement panel. There was no way that poor Spotty could have found his/her way out without a little help. It’s thanks to the individual who called our Hotline that Spotty was saved!
Small or big, every animal’s life matters. With some tools, our rescue officers careful manoeuvred the panel to free Spotty from the glue board and get him/her out safely.

The Last Of The Pink Dolphins
9th Dec 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
HONG KONG’S PINK DOLPHINS UNDER THREAT!
A few months ago, our dolphin team trained with the Hong Kong Dolphin Conservation Society (HKDCS) to learn more about the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, the same species found in Singapore’s waters.
Unfortunately the population isn’t doing too well in Hong Kong, as the population has plummeted from 158 in 2003 to 61 in 2014 – a 40% decline.
The BBC has written a very interesting and informative article about this – take a look!

GREEN IGUANA 10-10-10-10 SADLY PASSES AWAY
10-10-10-10 was so named as he was rescued on the 10th of October 2010 at 10pm. He was a large fully-grown adult at the time of rescue, although we will never know his exact age.
He was a fit and active iguana, with his size and strength second only to Midori, who is the largest green iguana in our care. We have seen 10-10-10-10 go through many different phases – from being a sweet and curious iguana who loved morning glory to being a very temperame...
