Tapir: Among the sensitive animals and classified by ICUN as an endangered species. There are still many in Malaysia. But not many know about their biology and ecology, habitat and behaviour and their inportance to human being. What we have many on hear say and story. No clear scientific research on tapir. May be we have few on habitat, number, homerange and feeding. More research are urgently needed if we are serious on its protection and conservation. Habitat loss, habitat fragmentation. migration routes distubance are among important areas need to be look upon.

 Road kill because of reduced foraging areas, habitat fragmentation and probably migration routes were disturbed. Better understanding on their biology and ecology are important and urgent. Government and private sectors need to support with a special grants.

Camera traps are among the best method can be use to estimate population, understanding behaviour and ecology. But who will do it. We need grants for research and capacity building.
