ROSSA�S RESCUE

Everyone can play a part in helping and protecting our native wildlife. Many times, all it takes is just a touch of compassion and initiative.

When a group of construction workers spotted Rossa on their first day back at work after Chinese New Year, she was lying in the middle of a construction site at Rifle Range Road and obviously in a bad way. So they called the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Hotline.

Rossa was covered with sand, severely dehydrated and hypoglycaemic. Inflammation on her forehead indicated that she had probably fallen from a great height and hit her head. Her troop was nowhere in sight.

Rossa is currently recovering from temporary head trauma at Animal Recovery Veterinary Centre (ARVC). As she is just a year old and highly dependent on her troop, it is crucial that she receives all the necessary supplements to boost her immunity prior to her release back into the wild. It is also important that she does not become imprinted onto her human caregivers, so we are taking the necessary measures to ensure that this does not happen.

We thank the workers from Kienta Engineering Construction for calling the Hotline. We also thank the vets and nurses at ARVC for treating Rossa.

If you would like to do your part to help the Singapore�s macaques, find out what the running group is doing and consider making a donation. Thank you.
