Oh that is just beyond cute 🙃
A rare endangered Malayan tapir has been born at Chester Zoo. The birth has been hailed as an “important moment” for the conservation of the endangered species.
– a species listed as endangered on the International Union of Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species. Fewer than 2,500 are estimated to remain across Malaysia, Sumatra, Thailand and Myanmar, with hunting, illegal logging and mass deforestation blamed for a decline in numbers, which has seen more than half of the world’s Malayan tapirs lost in the last 40 years.
“Here at Chester Zoo we’re doing all we can to reverse that and carve out a brighter future for the species. Margery’s precious calf is a highly significant new arrival who will add valuable new genetics to the European endangered species breeding programme, which is working to ensure a safety net population of Malayan tapirs in conservation zoos like ours, guarding them from extinction.
