Where tapirs, our extant pleistocene survivors as they are called, share their knowledge of the forest with us. A window to my research on this enigmatic species, its movements, its behaviour and most important a window to the understanding of why these animals inhabit the earth and to understand their role in the ecosystem.Xoxo Georgina O'Farrillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13969983252837510547noreply@blogger.comBlogger81100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247554570621685148.post-85235239278755538152009-06-16T14:29:00.000-07:002009-06-16T14:32:10.132-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhCVqk-JHe4/SjgPA7EGw_I/AAAAAAAABkM/FSf2tN0rdOA/s1600-h/09Mar23_PosterNuevoBecalfinal.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhCVqk-JHe4/SjgPA7EGw_I/AAAAAAAABkM/FSf2tN0rdOA/s320/09Mar23_PosterNuevoBecalfinal.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348041066031793138" /></a><br /><!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Unfortunately, due to habitat destruction, tapir populations are decreasing. However the Ejido of Nuevo Becal located in the State of Campeche in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico has the privilege to host tapirs. Throughout my field work trying to understand the role of tapirs in the ecosystem i have worked with the community of Nuevo Becal. This poster is a small window to the life of Nuevo Becal, a tapir land!</span></span></p> <!--EndFragment--><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2247554570621685148-8523523927875553815?l=xoxotapirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Xoxo Georgina O'Farrillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13969983252837510547noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247554570621685148.post-6701576328104900342009-05-30T16:54:00.001-07:002009-05-31T10:36:39.970-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhCVqk-JHe4/SiHLMHl3rFI/AAAAAAAABe0/LrmxgQG_sEo/s1600-h/tapirtortilla.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 234px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhCVqk-JHe4/SiHLMHl3rFI/AAAAAAAABe0/LrmxgQG_sEo/s320/tapirtortilla.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341774042094873682" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhCVqk-JHe4/SiHKLbEDrnI/AAAAAAAABes/rSQrQakeKCk/s1600-h/tapirtortilla.JPG"></a><br />One of the moments i enjoy the most when doing field work is having a simple but delicious meal after a full day of work. While my field guide was preparing some amazing tortillas I decided to have an art contest between my field assistant, my supervisor and myself. Certainly my supervisor was the winner!!
