Tapir Conservation Society

The Tapir Conservation Society is an organization dedicated to protecting tapirs, large herbivorous mammals found in Central and South America and Southeast Asia. They work to preserve tapir habitats, conduct research to understand their needs, and promote awareness about these rare animals. The society aims to ensure tapirs survive in the wild by supporting conservation efforts, partnering with local communities, and advocating for policies that help maintain healthy ecosystems. Their work is essential because tapirs play a vital role in their environments, such as seed dispersal, which helps forest regeneration.
