The largest mammals in South America survived several waves of extinction, one of which is happening at this moment.

But now, there’s a key difference. “In the past, we didn’t have human beings. The wave of extinction we’re going through now is caused by us,” tapir expert Patricia Medici explains. “We don’t know if they’re going to be able to go through this one.” In the face of this uncertainty, she’s fighting harder than ever to give them a surviving chance.

The 250-kilogram animals are hunted for meat, and often have nowhere to turn as their habitats are increasingly fragmented by urbanisation. Holding a PhD in Biodiversity Management, and qualifications in Forestry Sciences and Wildlife Ecology, the Brazilian conservationist is advocating for a deeper understanding of tapirs.
