The Animal Concerns, Research and Education Society (ACRES) is a registered Singaporean Charity and Institution of Public Character that aims to create a world where all animals are treated as fellow sentient beings. One of our key focus areas is Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, where we rescue thousands of animals each year.

In this talk, learn more about how Singapore's only Wildlife Rescue charity functions and hear about our most exciting rescue stories. Empower yourselves to play a part in helping animals by learning what to do when you see various animals who are injured or in distress.

ACRES turns 24, and they couldn’t have done it without you. Your support has made their work possible, and they'd love to celebrate with you.

Start the day with a vegan brunch, where you’ll connect with their dedicated team, hear inspiring stories from the field, and get a glimpse into ACRES’ future plans. You’ll also gain fresh insights on simple ways to make a difference for animals in your daily life.

After brunch, explore 16 years of untouched forest on a guided hike through their expanded sanctuary—an area twice the size of two football fields. This space will provide a safe haven for orphaned and injured native animals, as well as non-native wildlife rescued from the pet trade.

𝙀𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙁𝙍𝙀𝙀, however, ACRES kindly request for donations-in-kind for the tour and vegan brunch. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated!
