KUALA LUMPUR: Tapir Trails, a three-day tapir conservation awareness campaign, will be held from Oct 31 to Nov 2, at Cheras Leisure Mall.
The initiative is organised by PPB Properties, in collaboration with the Department of Wildlife and National Parks Peninsular Malaysia (Perhilitan) and Peninsular Malaysia Forestry Department.
According to Perhilitan, the Malayan Tapir is classified as an endangered species, which has fewer than 1,500 remaining in Peninsular Malaysia.
Themed “Follow the Trails, Discover Tapirs”, the campaign invites families to join an adventure with various educational and interactive sessions that combine storytelling, art and environmental learning to raise awareness and nurture a love for local wildlife among the next generation.
Each session is yet another stop along the trail, where they can collect stamps to redeem small wildlife-themed merchandise.
Families can also explore various informational exhibits, create their own paper crafts and join a series of free art workshops.
Informational panels on Malayan Tapirs, interactive displays and actual animal exhibits are also available to engage with experts from Perhilitan and the Forestry Department.
