Why tapir were killed on the road? The run away from their habitat after their habitat were destroyed or the cross the roas because herir home ranges are limited. We need to understand their biology and ecology for tapit conservation. To do this we need money, experts, energy, time, long term study and ready to face danger.

 When habitat disturbed, Tapir run away and cross the road.

 Look like the forest will be converted in to oil palm. Drainage will cause low water level and disturb ecology of peat swamp forest including wildlife.

 Wildlife cross the road and enter oil palm plantation. The will face a new challenge in the oil palm estate.

 

If they are not lucky tapir will be hit by car or lorry. We cannot get another tapir like chicken.
