Hello!

My name is Tracy Poitra and I am currently doing my internship at the 
Minnesota Zoo.  I have chosen to conduct research on the "Tapiris Indicus." 
 We have two female Malaysian Tapirs here at the zoo, and we are planning to 
exhibit  them together.  I have read about inter-species exhibits here on 
Tapir Talk, and was wondering if there are any behavioral studies done on 
the Tapir at all, specifically the Malaysian Tapir, and where I could find 
it.   If you could be of any help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Tracy Poitra

Subject: Subject: Tapir Talk: Introduction

Dear TP'ers,

I'm new to the list and like to introduce myself and my work on the WWW.
Although tapirs are not my main interest I like to stay informed,
particulary about the Malayan Tapir.

I'm Ed Colijn, developer of the web-based Indonesian Nature Conservation
Database at the URL below.

The site holds info on the many protected areas of Indonesia. Each
reserve entry comprises general info, access, accommodation, important
addresses and a list of occuring flora and fauna.

An other part of the site consists of annotated checklists of all
mammals (incl. the Malyan Tapir:-) and birds of Indonesia. Each entry
comprises scientific name, common name, (recent) synonyms, vernacular
name, distribution in Indonesia and CITES, IUCN, U.S. ESA, CMS and
Indonesian status.

Recently I put up some pages about the Indonesian forest fires.

I like to invite anyone interested to visit the site and send me her/his
opinion and constructive comments.

All the best,
Ed

Para Leopoldo Estol de Argentina.
Estimado Leopoldo, si me interesa el contacto, ya que soy argentina, ahora
estoy trbajando en Honduras, y cuando vivia alla estuve muy interesada
buscando fondos para hacer un relevamiento de tapires en el NOA ya que donde
vivimos son abundantes y relativamente faciles de ver. Desde entonces mi
interes por ellos se mantuvo aunque no he podico trabajar directamente.
Quisiera saber de donde sos y si estas en relacion con tapires. 
Atentamente, Silvia Chalukian.

and I take the opportunity to say hi to all of the group!
