[drupal=380]Splash Damage Christmas Tapirthon 2008[/drupal]
If you’re a regular reader of the site, you’ll undoubtedly have noticed that we’re big fans of the tapir around here. None of us can say precisely whether it is more their snortling grace, their mild and modest evolutionary longevity or the splendid spots and stripes of their young that so fascinates us, but we’re happy and proud to count ourselves among the waving, hooting ranks of TapirFans the world over.
Unfortunately, all three of the tapir species are endangered and faced with extinction. To help preserve them, one of the things we did earlier in the year (on World Tapir Day, no less) was to donate a healthy amount of cash to the Baird’s Tapir Project, the longest on-going tapir conservation effort in the world.
When it came to doing this year’s Christmas cards, we thought we’d do one better and use them to spread the word about tapirs and raise some more money for our endangered perissodactyl friends.
