This is the official blog of The Tapir Preservation Fund, where we raise money for (and promote) tapir conservation. Visit our Tapir Gallery web site to learn more about these amazing animals and see what you can do to help save them from extinction. We also have an online store with a special section devoted only to tapirs!
Read about the tapir conservation work of Carl Traeholt in the New York Times article, "New Research on Malaysia’s Odd, Elusive Tapir." It reports on current work in the field of tapir conservation in Southeast Asia and gives up-to-date population estimates for the species. This photo of a tapir caught by the camera trap is from the Times article. My thanks to Jordan Shenhar for bringing the piece to my attention.Not only is this an excellent article, but it's good news for the tapirs to be featured in such a prominent publication!
