Report Animal Crime

If you come across any illegal trade or possession of prohibited wild animals or their parts in Singapore, please contact the ACRES Wildlife Crime Hotline at 9783 7782. Your report can make a meaningful difference in protecting our native wildlife.

School & Community Outreach Programme

Our Education Team offers engaging in-person sessions at schools and at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre, with virtual programmes available to reach wider audiences.

While we work to protect species and habitats, we are equally committed to animal welfare—ensuring that all animals are treated with compassion, dignity, and respect. We believe animals are not just part of the ecosystem, but sentient beings with intrinsic value.

We aim to raise awareness of urgent animal protection issues and nurture a culture of empathy and responsible action through our outreach.

For kindergartens, we provide specialised age-appropriate presentations and hands-on activities designed to engage young minds and cultivate early empathy for animals.

Let’s work together to create a kinder world—starting in our classrooms and communities.

To find out more please email our Education Executive.

Testimonials

Feedback from our volunteers

Volunteering at ACRES has allowed me to make an impact on what I love: my country and the wildlife that lives here on this little island. It has made me appreciate how caring Singaporeans can be, even to our pigeons and mynas, but also made me realise how much more can be done when educating the public about how wildlife (like snakes) should not be feared, but should be treasured for how important they are to the ecosystem. And getting to to play a part of this education and conservation? A wonderful way to spend my free time

Wildlife Rescue Volunteer
Volunteering with ACRES for the past six years has been an amazing and eye-opening experience. It's incredibly fulfilling to lend a hand to our wild neighbours, offering them even the smallest additional chance at survival. We enjoy helping people see wildlife in a new light, by turning fear or misconceptions into appreciation and respect. Each rescue is a reminder that animals and humans alike come with their own unique quirks and personalities. What keeps me inspired is the ACRES team. They’re a diverse bunch, incredibly dedicated, fearless, and endlessly driven by the shared passion for animal welfare.
