I would like to start this Letter from the Chair by mentioning how very, very proud I am of the Tapir Specialist Group! Earlier this year we all got together once again for the Fourth International Tapir Symposium held in Parque XCARET in Quintana Roo, Mexico, from April 26th to May 1st. During the conference, we had the chance to look back and evaluate what we have done since the Third Symposium in Argentina in 2006 and it was absolutely amazing to realize how much we have accomplished as a group! It is truly incredible and reflects our group’s continuous commitment to the conservation of the four tapir species and their habitat.
The Fourth International Tapir Symposium was another extremely successful event of the Tapir Specialist Group, another landmark in our history, and most of this issue of Tapir Conservation will be dedicated to providing information generated during the conference. In this issue you will find a detailed report and pictures of the conference as well as reports from all our TSG Committees, Taskforces, and Working Groups.
