About 80% of carelessly-disposed land waste end up in our waterways and become a threat to wildlife. In the “Free Aquarius” operation, WRS vets rescued a wild smooth-coated otter pup injured by an ‘O’ ring coiled around her body.
Let’s help the otters and other aquatic creatures by reducing waste generated from single-use plastics. Refill your bottle at water dispensers in our parks. Help spread the message to promote a litter-free environment.
