World Tapir DaY: Raising Awareness of Tapirs Since 2008
World Tapir Day is celebrated on 27 April each year - this makes 2023 the sixteenth celebration of it. Regardless of whether you are a tapir fan or whether you have only just discovered the world of tapirs, you will find a wide range of information on this site about World Tapir Day.
If you are new to the World Tapir Day community, you may wish to read some of the FAQs on this site to learn about the wider goals of World Tapir Day. These goals extend beyond raising awareness of the four extant tapir species in Central and South America and in Southeast Asia.
The World Tapir Day site isn't just an information resource. It also aims to develop a community around tapir awareness and conservation. Please join the Facebook group and follow World Tapir Day on Twitter and Instagram to be part of the effort to save tapirs.
There is also the World Tapir Day store, which raises funds to support tapir conservation projects worldwide. All funds raised through the store go towards tapir conservation projects. Since its founding, WTD has supported the Belize Zoo, the World Land Trust and the Rainforest Trust with their tapir conservation activities and through the purchasing of land to protect tapir habitats.
All tapir species face the threat of extinction. Saving tapirs helps to save rainforests and other habitats, thereby helping to save the planet and mitigate the effect of climate change.
