Tons o' tapirs: "Buy a gift, save an endangered species!"

Tapir Preservation Fund
Sheryl is President of this nonprofit corporation. Tapirs have been Sheryl's passion since 1968, and maybe before that (her mom says she was fascinated by a young tapir at the San Diego Zoo as a child, but she doesn't, unfortunately, remember this). In the late 1960s/early 1970s, she Robert Wilson raised two of these endangered animals, formed the Tapir Research Institute of Claremont, California, and published some survey results that are still cited in zoological publications. You can learn more about the Tapir Preservation Fund, its mission and goals, here. And you can learn lots more about tapirs (and see their beautiful pictures) in The Tapir Gallery. We appreciate your interest!

So, what the heck is a tapir? (See below.)

Only after the last tree has been cut down,
only after the last river has been poisoned,
only after the last fish has been caught,
only then will you find that money can not be eaten.
