Fancy making a hands-on difference for animals this Sunday (and over the next few Sundays, 10am to 4pm)?
We're working hard to build new enclosures for our rescued animals, and we need YOUR help!
Over the past two Sundays, a small team of dedicated volunteers have been making a huge difference for the animals by helping us with this new project.

Why does our ACRES logo feature a dancing blue monkey?
Well, our logo is indeed inspired by a monkey - a special monkey named Blue - who was the first animal rescued from the illegal wildlife trade by ACRES.
Blue was rescued from a miserable life as a ‘pet’ here in Singapore, kept alone, chained up in a small cage. It was no life for a free-spirited monkey.
When we first met Blue, he lived alone, in a small cage, attached to the bars by a chain around his neck. His short chain meant there...

As we approach our 12th birthday, we're going to be looking back over the past 12 years that - thanks to your support - we've spent advocating for a better world for animals. And we'll be sharing some interesting snippets of information about ACRES too! Do let us know if you have any burning questions about ACRES that you'd like answered.
To start with, we'll be looking at how and why it all began: A little chimpanzee called Ramba.

"We know that corvids (the crow family) are capable of using tools, recognising humans and passing knowledge on to their families — but a collaborative study between the University of Cambridge, the University of Auckland and the University of Vienna has shown us how crows are also capable of understanding cause and effect."

Today marks the 9th anniversary of Ramba’s passing. I still miss her loads and I wish I could have done more for her…
Ramba is the reason ACRES exists and the memories of the time I spent with her will always remain in my heart. I miss you so much Ramba.
FALLING IN LOVE WITH RAMBA
“On 5th April 2004, Ramba, a female chimp at Singapore Zoo escaped from her enclosure. She was darted by a zoo personnel, fell into a reservoir and drowned. It was a tragic death for a chimp that deserv...

We were very happy to be invited to give a presentation to the students earlier this week about the benefits of going meat-free for one day a week (or more!)

Many of us get upset when we hear about pigeon culling. The good news is that we can all play a part in controlling and reducing the pigeon population naturally.
The best thing we can do to help pigeons is to simply make less food available to them, and then the population will be controlled naturally.
Some people feed pigeons with good intentions of helping them, but in fact this does a lot more harm than good. Providing food for the pigeons means the population will grow beyond the carry...
