GIVING BACK TO NATURE WITH NATURALS BY WATSONS!

Tapir

The World Tapir Day is held annually on 27 April to raise awareness about tapir species that inhabit the Central and South America and Southeast Asia.

In conjunction with the World Tapir Day, the ‘Treasure Our Tapirs’ campaign by Ecotourism and Conservation Society Malaysia (ECOMY) is aim to showcase the Malayan Tapir as the primary focus to educate the public on the importance of conserving Malaysia’s natural heritage – the forests and wildlife, and understanding that conserving the environment is key to our own wellbeing.

The Malayan Tapir has a distinctive black and white colouration and can grow between 1.8 to 2.5m in length, standing from 90 to 110cm tall. They typically weigh between 250 and 320 kg, although some adults can weigh up to 540 kg.

“We intend to continue to work with tapirs and other precious wildlife to educate our young and future generations through this campaign. And we are honoured to partner with Watsons Malaysia to raise funds for ECOMY and its education and preservation programs,” said Irshad Mobarak, President, ECOMY.
