Standing Against Cruelty to All Wildlife
We share about a horrific case of a reticulated python being burned alive during capture.
This incident occured on 20 November 2024. As we await the enforcement action outcome, Advocacy Co-CEO Anbarasi (Anbu) Boopal shares our frustration about the violent crimes against snakes.
Are animals truly protected by our laws, or is the lack of effective deterrents allowing these tragic incidents to continue, costing the lives of the voiceless?

In July, a baby plantain squirrel was brought to ACRES in critical condition. Initially fed milk by a well-meaning member of public, the squirrel arrived severely bloated and struggling to breathe, suffering from aspiration pneumonia, a life-threatening condition in young animals.
Our vet acted quickly, stabilising him overnight with an intranasal bronchodilator and sedation to release trapped gas. His breathing improved, and the worst was over.
Over the next three months, our team carefully hand-raised him, guiding his recovery until he was strong enough for release. On 23rd October 2024, we watched him return to the wild, ready for a new beginning.

Part 2: A Bittersweet Goodbye โ White Paw & Black Paw Return to the Wild ๐
After weeks of rehabilitative care, the time had come to release White Paw and Black Paw back in the wild where they belong.
Our team gathered under the moonlight, With hearts full of pride, mixed with a tinge of sadness in having to part with them, our team watched the two civets pause as the carrier door opened. With a flash of white and black paws, they leapt into the trees and disappeared into the night. ๐ฒ๐
As adorable as they are, wild animals belong in the wild. In addition to contributing to Singaporeโs diverse biodiversity and ecosystem, White Paw and Black Paw can now act upon their natural instincts to hunt, forage, and socialise with their own kind.
Wild animals belong in the wild. Providing them rehabilitative care is just as crucial as returning their freedom to be as they are, and where they belong.

Part 1: From Rescue to Rehab โ A Second Chance for Two Civets โค๏ธ
Every rescue tells a story of survival. This is the story of White Paw and Black Paw, two common palm civets.
Found weak and alone, our wildlife rescue team brought them into ACRES as two separate rescues. It marked the start of their long journey together. Though their tiny bodies were fragile, their spirits were unbroken.
Over the following weeks, our rehabilitation team ensured they were fed, enriched, and nurtured in a safe environment. Slowly but surely, they grew stronger, and their playful antics revealed the curious nature of these nocturnal creatures.
Their journey was more than just survival; it was preparation for the ultimate goalโreturning to the wild. Saying goodbye won't be easy.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we share the bittersweet release of White Paw and Black Paw back into the night. ๐

It all started with a kind-hearted caller who heard something unusualโsoft, faint chirps from deep within a drain. Acting quickly, they reached out to our wildlife rescue hotline.
When our team arrived, we traced the chirps to a tiny jungle fowl chick deep in the drain. Time was of essenceโstranded chicks can get exhausted quickly and the mother could leave the spot soon. But thanks to the swift response and collaboration of the caller, we managed to carefully extract the little one and attempted in-situ release.
Once the mother responded to the chickโs calls, we placed the chick close to herโand within moments, we witnessed the magic ๐ถ
A simple act of attentiveness, combined with swift action, ensured this young jungle fowl got a second chance to thrive in the wild.
