Dear Sheryl Todd:
	It is good to know the interest of your organization in 
conserving tapirs. I am a wildlife biologist working on tapirs since 
1993 in Costa Rica (as a master's student) and in southern Mexico. I have 
published four papers on tapir ecology and I'd like to share them with 
all interested people: 1. Naranjo, E.J. 1995. Abundancia y uso de habitat 
del tapir (Tapirus bairdii) en un bosque tropical humedo de Costa Rica. 
Vida Silvestre Neotropical 4(1):20-31. 2. Naranjo, E.J. 1995. Habitos de 
alimentacion del tapir (Tapirus bairdii) en un bosque tropical humedo de 
Costa Rica. Vida Silvestre neotropical 4(1):32-37. 3. Naranjo, E.J. and 
C. Vaughan. Observaciones sobre la ecologia del tapir en el paramo 
Centroamericano. Brenesia (in press).  4. Naranjo, E.J. and E. 
Cruz. Ecologia del tapir en la Sierra Madre de Chiapas. Acta Zoologica 
Mexicana (in press).
	I'd like to be in your mail list. Thank you.

Sincerely,
	Eduardo J. Naranjo 
	Associate Researcher

[intro to P.S. snipped]

I forgot to tell you about my next project: this year I will start a study on 
tapir and other ungulates ecology in the lacandon forest, Chiapas (Montes 
Azules Biosphere Reserve).  This study will be the first part of my doctoral
dissertation, advised by Dr. Richard Bodmer from the University of Florida.  
I will send you more information about this project in future communications.

Sincerely,
        Eduardo Naranjo.
