ACRES [together with Otter Working Group members Ottercity ] conducted trials at two houses to show residents how to better protect their homes. There are plans to conduct another trial at a third home soon.

Mr Kalai (ACRES Co-CEO) said: “A lot of people think that when incidents happen, we need to trap the animal. But it doesn’t solve the problem because eventually another group of otters will come in.”

He added: “Where possible, we are encouraging residents to make it their responsibility to protect their households. It is possible to DIY some of these things, and that is why we are here telling people how to do it.”

Our thanks to PM Lee for joining the event and grateful to Cheng San-Seletar PA, MP Ms Nadia @nadiaahmadsamdinSG, residents and the Otter Working Group members for the long-term joint efforts towards more awareness, engagement and ultimately #Coexistence!
