The process to make a successful National Action Plan for tapir conservation in Ecuador began after our participation in the Mountain Tapir Population and Habitat Viability Assessment, held in Pereira, Colombia in 2004. During this meeting, the members of the TSG-Ecuador, realized the importance of developing a conservation plan to guide the main conservation actions for the three tapir species in Ecuador. Some years later, as a result of the Lowland Tapir PHVA and the Third and Fourth International Tapir Symposiums, the idea to formulate a National Tapir Conservation Action Plan had matured. Following this, many meetings and national workshops have been held in Ecuador, to enable us to develop our national action plan for Ecuador.
