Abstract:

The IUCN Red List has listed the Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus) as an endangered species in 2016, owing to its declining population trend. Human-caused forest degradation and encroachment on wildlife habitats drive this species to roam out of its natural range, resulting in human-tapir conflict (HTC). This study executes kernel density analysis on 78 HTC points recorded in Negeri Sembilan from 2013 to 2018 to determine the high and low HTC zones, and investigates the influence of five landscape variables on the occurrence of HTC. Values of five landscape variables in high and low HTC zones we

Abstract:

The Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus), native to Southeast Asia was classified as endangered by the IUCN Red List in 2016. Human-induced deforestation affects the tapir population by reducing their habitat area, leading to an increase in tapirs roaming in human-dominated zones. This study aimed to analyze the spatial and temporal patterns of human-tapir conflict (HTC) in Peninsular Malaysia to discern the underlying factors influencing the cases. Tapir conflict data were compiled from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP) Peninsular Malaysia comprising 244 cases (complaints) and 7

Abstract:

Agricultural areas where people grow crops to feed themselves and their families are often physically enclosed by a fence or represented by a forest edge (Figure 1). The purpose of these physical boundaries is obvious to people but not necessarily recognised by the wild animals they are designed to obstruct (Waters, 2014). Wild animals that cross these boundaries to feed on agricultural crops are commonly referred to by researchers as crop- raiders. A major grievance of subsistence farmers is the damage that crop-raiders do or farmers believe they might do to their crops and thus their livelih

Abstract:

The mountain tapir (<em>Tapirus pinchaque</em>) is often perceived as a peaceful and quiet animal. This view has been re-enforced by domestication accounts that suggest mountain tapirs can be very docile and friendly after a relatively short time (Crandall, 1964; Gale and Sedgwick, 1968). However, wild tapirs are known to occasionally display aggressive behaviour, which when directed towards humans can cause dangerously deep wounds (Schauenberg, 1969). In our own work, we have observed aggressive behavior by females protecting their calves. (Castellanos, 1994; Downer, 1996; Castellanos, 2013).

Abstract:

AbstractThe increase in human tapir conflict and lack of management options is worrying and has been identified as a research priority in previous conservation planning reviews for the group. Crop-raiding by Baird’s tapir was reported on a private farm within the La Amistad Biosphere Reserve, Costa Rica. We conducted an open interview with the owner and baited the tapir out of the damaged area using an artificial salt-lick. The measures taken (quick response, assistance on alternative solutions, and the decision to use of salt-licks) were successful short-term measures to avoid lethal retaliat

Abstract:

Wildlife conservation efforts in the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor have focused on reducing negative interactions between humans and charismatic species. In recent years, droughts have increased in frequency and intensity in southeastern Mexico exacerbating conflicts with wildlife as they compete with humans for limited water. In the Yucatan Peninsula, Greater Calakmul Region of southeastern Mexico, Baird’s tapirs (Tapirus bairdii) are increasingly encroaching into local villages (ejidos) in search of water. This behavior could increase tapir mortality from hunting by Calakmul ejidos reside

Abstract:

Baird’s tapir (Tapirus bairdii) populations are declining because of deforestation, fragmentation, poaching, and vehicle collisions. Tapirs play an ecological role as seed dispersers and seed predators; therefore, their loss will impact plant communities. This species prefers large areas with continuous native forest where human pressure is low and with permanent water bodies. In the Calakmul region of Southern Mexico, there are no permanent water bodies, only seasonal ponds called locally “aguadas”. These ponds have been crucial for tapir survival. Communal lands of the Calakmul region are im

Abstract:

Conflicts between humans and animals have been a challenge due to rapid urbanization. Most of the forest is cleared to build roads and highway. Thus, animals need to migrate or move for their survival. This paper aims to review wildlife roadkill data from PERHILITAN and arranged it under several groups of species. Here, quantitative analysis of the roadkill data is used to select one species as the primary subject (Malayan Tapir). It has been observed that Malayan Tapir has involved in 68 vehicle collisions with a total loss of RM6.8 million in 5 years. From these results, long-term mitigation

Abstract:

IntroductionUnderstanding human-wildlife interactions is critical to overcoming the socio-environmental crises we face worldwide. Among these interactions, poaching and hunting, human-wildlife conflict, and transmission of zoonotic diseases are major causes of biodiversity loss and detrimental to human well-being. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze wildlife poaching, feral pig hunting, human-wildlife conflict, and health issues in a region of the Brazilian Cerrado, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The study also focused on the lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris), a poached species listed

Abstract:

Abstract The Asian tapir Tapirus indicus population has decreased as a result of habitat destruction and degradation, illegal hunting and negative human–tapir interactions. Although this species is categorized as Endangered on the IUCN Red List and is a protected species in Indonesia, where it occurs on Sumatra, studies of its ecology and behaviour and of interactions with people remain limited. We investigated the characteristics of local communities around tapir habitat in Batang Gadis National Park and the interactions of people with tapirs, and assessed the potential for future negative in
