Join Franklin Park Zoo on Tuesday, April 22, for World Tapir Day and celebrate one of the most unique residents of the Tropical Forest! 


This special event will feature two presentations by Esteban Brenes-Mora, Senior Mesoamerica Associate of the Baird’s Tapir Survival Alliance (BTSA), at 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. in the Hippo Theater. Esteban will share his conservation work with Baird’s tapirs across Central America, emphasizing the critical role of education, outreach, and research in protecting this species. 


Guests can enjoy: 


Baird’s tapirs are the largest breed of tapir, known for their dark brown coats and snorkel-like snouts. As proficient swimmers and key seed dispersers, they play a crucial role in rainforest ecosystems. Unfortunately, these animals are critically endangered due to habitat loss and hunting. 

Zoo New England is a proud partner of the BTSA, working to raise awareness and protect these incredible creatures.
