The IUCN/SSC Tapir Specialist Group is VERY PROUD and VERY HAPPY to announce that after five long years of dedication and hard work we have concluded the development of the second version of our IUCN/SSC Tapir Action Plan!!! This is one of the most significant accomplishments in the history of the Tapir Specialist Group and we want all of you to celebrate with us!!! As reported in several different occasions over the past years, during the First International Tapir Symposium held in San José, Costa Rica, in November 2001, participants agreed that the revision and updating of the first version of the IUCN/SSC Tapir Status Survey and Conservation Action Plan (edited by Daniel Brooks, Richard Bodmer and Sharon Matola in 1997) should be one of the priority goals for the TSG. An Action Planning Committee was created and it was decided that a Population and Habitat Viability Assessment (PHVA), as implemented by the IUCN/SSC Conservation Breeding Specialist Group, would be the most appropriate methodology for the development of updated action plans for each one of the four tapir species, listing and prioritizing actions for the conservation of tapirs and their habitats.
