In 1999, during a volunteer stint at the Singapore Zoo, Louis Ng witnessed a moment that changed his life. A baby chimpanzee named Ramba had been physically punished during an animal photography session. Frightened and hurt, she ran to him to check if her lips were bleeding.

Determined to stop the cruelty and reunite Ramba and two other chimps, Poko and Gombe, […] - [Our Sanctuary](https://acres.org.sg/sanctuary/): Our Sanctuary Building a better future for our animals The ACRES Wildlife Sanctuary is a living testament to our mission—providing rescued wild animals with a second chance in a space that respects their instincts and needs.  Spread over 0.5 hectares, our current sanctuary includes dedicated enclosures, animal care facilities, and a small team of passionate staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to rehabilitate and protect native and trafficked wildlife.
