Without all of you, this event would not have been made possible.

Amidst enjoying the delicious plant-based dinner, SMS Tan Kiat How unveiled volume one of an illuminating and easily accessible handbook, meticulously created and designed by our wildlife management team of Jocelyn @jocelynchngcy, Shirlene @wildsc_ and Karina @kariinalim, illustrated beautifully by @wilducation.

With forewords by Sivasothi @sivasothi and Louis Ng @louisngkokkwang, this book will be first-of-its-kind one stop resource on coexistence with animals in our community. The e-book is available for download at https://bit.ly/ACRESCoexistenceHandbookVol1
