Our Education team offers in-person programmes at schools and the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre, while our virtual programmes continue to be available. Our talks raise awareness on a wide range of pressing animal protection issues and advocate compassion and respect towards animals:
- Animals as Sentient Beings
- Illegal Wildlife Trade
- Coexistence with Singapore’s Wildlife
- Cruelty-free lifestyle and Taking Action for Animals
- Tailored topics: We can also deliver on topics specific to a group of animals, for example: Dolphins in Captivity, Snakes of Singapore, etc.

For an educational private tour at the AWRC (for a donation to support our work), please email us at education@acres.org.sg to make an appointment. We organise periodic and festive open houses to continue our outreach efforts.
ACRES can deliver virtual programmes through our own zoom meeting room; We strongly believe that delivery, engagement and keeping the content current and relevant – play a vital role in empowering the audience to take action for animals. For this reason and content copyrights, recording of the programmes is not permitted. We regret to inform you that we do not share PowerPoint slides/videos of our programmes for a duplicate session without written agreement on terms.
