EVERYDAY HEROES FOR WILDLIFE!

We�re very grateful to several members of the public who have helped raise awareness among their own community about our native wild animals and how to protect them.

Today, we�d like to express our heartfelt thanks to two of our long-term rescue volunteers – Alpana Ahuja and Chuen Ling Lee � who, as well as assisting with our hands-on rescue work, have also been helping ACRES and the animals in their own ways. Here are two examples of the two ladies helping our native wildlife � when not on duty with ACRES!

Alpana helped to identify a paradise tree snake at her friend�s residence, enlightening her on the species characteristics and habitat. She also thanked her friend for convincing the cleaner to refrain from killing the snake. Thank you, Alpana!

Recently, Chuen Ling was �activated� for a snake hiding behind some shoes at her neighbour�s house. She helped to identify the snake to be a striped kukri and relocated the snake to the safety of the green spaces nearby. Thank you, Ling!

If you have a rescue story to share, please do so in the comments below! Help us tag, celebrate and connect the everyday heroes of Singapore’s wildlife!

Do remember to call the ACRES 24-hour Wildlife Rescue Hotline at 9783 7782 if you spot any wild animal in Singapore who may need help.
