We don't want more tapir killed when they cross the road because of their habitat disturbed. May be human are greedy to cut forest caused fragmented habitat for wildlife and change to oil palm. We have to change our mindset go to algae farming in the sea instead of cutting forest for the oil palm and destroy wildlife.

Tapir caught by camera trap in Belum-Temenggor Forest Reserve
 Forest clearing near Sungai Dusun, Selangor. Drainage causes water level in swamp forest and affect forest ecology and wildlife population.
 When forest is cleared, wildlife like tapir may run away and sometimes hit by car or lorry when they cross the road separating forest and oil palm estates.
