MIA IS BACK HOME IN THE TREES, HER SUFFERING OVER. WILL YOU HELP US HELP OTHER MONKEYS IN NEED?

Lying helpless and vulnerable on the ground. A shattered pelvis and a seriously injured leg. No hope of recovery without help. This is how we found Mia, a macaque; in pain, suffering and facing a bleak future.

We were determined to do all we could to relieve Mia�s suffering and give her a second chance at life. With the help of the Animal Recovery Veterinary Centre, Mia received life-changing surgery, followed by 6 weeks of dedicated care by ACRES. It was no easy task to put this little monkey back together again, but with Mia�s fighting spirit, she pulled through. We were thrilled when she was released back into the wild a few days ago, her ordeal finally over.

From her injuries, it seems likely that Mia was hit by a car. Macaques in Singapore today face all sorts of threats and dangers, because of habitat loss and a lack of public awareness on how to live in harmony with these smart and curious monkeys.

Mia�s rescue, rehabilitation and release was the first of its kind in Singapore, and with your help we can help many more monkeys. We�ve recently established Singapore�s first-ever Macaque Rescue Team, who are on call 7 days a week, to go to the aid of any macaques in need. The Team also plays a vital role in making Singapore a place where macaques and people live side-by-side.

However, the Macaque Rescue Team needs your support to be able to carry out their work. We urgently need to purchase a small van for the Macaque Rescue Team, to allow us to respond to rescue calls as quickly as possible. The van will cost $40,000.

Please consider making a donation today, to ensure that monkeys like Mia will always have the help they need. Thank you!

Yours sincerely,

Louis Ng

Chief Executive
