As reported in the last issue of this newsletter, several committees were created during the First International Tapir Symposium and I am sure you are all curious to hear about their progress. These committees have been working on specific tasks related to the structure of the TSG, internal and external communication and fundraising. Preliminary results include the creation of guidelines for TSG membership and proposals seeking TSG endorsement/support and the development of a list of responsibilities for each one of the TSG officers. As you have all probably noticed, our Tapir Conservation Newsletter editorial team – Siân Waters, Stefan Seitz and Kelly Russo – restructured the publication, increasing the number and quality of articles and improving the country and species representation. Financial support from the Houston Zoological Gardens will enable us to publish two issues per year. The Houston Zoo graphic department is also helping us to develop educational and organisational brochures about tapirs and the TSG.
