Tapirs

This book was written in Bribri narrative. Words and teachings are presented just as elders have shared them. The format of this work is simple but profound. Excerpts of animal stories are introduced with just enough detail to give you a glimpse of the Bribri world while leaving plenty of room to imagine.

Descended from a long and ancient lineage, tapirs are important tropical forest seed dispersers. However, today, all species of tapirs are threatened to various degrees by habitat destruction and hunting. This action plan was written with wildlife biologists, ecologists, administrators, educators and local conservation officials in mind and is aimed at those countries with tapir populations.
