PRTCT | MALAY TAPIR
The Malayan Tapir is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It has the distinction of being the largest of the four tapir species, as well as being the only tapir native to the Old #World. The Malayan Tapir is unmistakable with its bold black and white markings. -
Once widely abundant, over recent decades Malayan Tapir population numbers have rapidly declined, and the species now survives only as isolated populations in remote or protected areas in#Indonesia, Myanmar, Peninsular Malaysia, and#Thailand. Habitat destruction poses the predominant threat, as a result of forests being cleared for human settlement, agriculture and, more recently, palm oil plantations. This species is also hunted for its meat and for sale in the Asian zoo trade, and often becomes road-kill. -
