WISH UPON A STAR
Their star-like radiating yellow patterns on their shell is quite a stunner. And so, the Indian star tortoises often poached from the wild for the illicit pet trade, making them a vulnerable species listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Repatriating these reptiles back to India will not only augment the endangered populations in India, but also demonstrate our zero tolerance of the illegal wildlife trade.
HELP US MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

Rex, a common snapping turtle non-native to Singapore, was found at a playground drinking from the puddle.
He is currently under our care as a new resident of the #AcresWildlifeRescueCentre, which houses non-native tortoises, turtles, snakes and lizards.
Please consider supporting us so we may continue helping these silent victims who are at the mercy of the illegal pet trade.

An estimated 20,000 Indian star tortoises are poached from the wild in India each year to meet the demand for the illegal wildlife trade.
