The Last Of The Pink Dolphins 9th Dec 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
HONG KONG’S PINK DOLPHINS UNDER THREAT!
A few months ago, our dolphin team trained with the Hong Kong Dolphin Conservation Society (HKDCS) to learn more about the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, the same species found in Singapore’s waters.
Unfortunately the population isn’t doing too well in Hong Kong, as the population has plummeted from 158 in 2003 to 61 in 2014 – a 40% decline.
The BBC has written a very interesting and informative article about this – take a look!
We aim to le...

GREEN IGUANA 10-10-10-10 SADLY PASSES AWAY
10-10-10-10 was so named as he was rescued on the 10th of October 2010 at 10pm. He was a large fully-grown adult at the time of rescue, although we will never know his exact age.
He was a fit and active iguana, with his size and strength second only to Midori, who is the largest green iguana in our care. We have seen 10-10-10-10 go through many different phases – from being a sweet and curious iguana who loved morning glory to being a very temperame...

AU REVOIR & BON VOYAGE MS. MANON PIOTUCH!

NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUNDUP: 4 DECEMBER 2015
Last month (November), our wildlife rescue team received a call about an eagle in distress. The white-bellied sea eagle had crash landed into a canal area, and he was being pounded by a heavy flow of gushing water. Luckily, a group of teenage boys came to his aid and helped to pull him to safety. They managed to keep the eagle warm and calm by placing a shirt over him. A concerned passer-by called us for help.
The white-bellied sea eagle was not...

Deen, an Indian star tortoise at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre (identified in the photo by his ‘new boy on the block’ clean carapace) recently finished his quarantine period and joined the other star tortoises outdoors. He was immediately investigated by some of the senior and more ‘seasoned’ tortoises!
As you can see from the photo, the senior tortoises paraded their seasoned and dirty shells (thanks to the monsoon season) a...
