Biologists Study Tapir Role In Forest Regeneration
Biologists from Carder are studying the ecological impact of the tapir in forest ecosystems. The animals act as 'gardeners of the forest' by consuming large quantities of vegetation. Their movement through the forest creates small clearings that allow new plant life to emerge. This process facilitates forest regeneration through the animal's size and feeding habits.
