Baird's Tapir Tee

The Baird’s Tapir, the largest native land mammal of Central America, is a shy, nocturnal browser often called a “living fossil” for its ancient lineage. With its distinctive flexible snout, it feeds on leaves, fruits, and shoots, helping to shape and regenerate tropical forests. Once ranging widely from Mexico to Colombia, it is now listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, with habitat destruction, hunting, and fragmentation reducing its populations to scattered pockets. This design captures the tapir’s unmistakable profile in bold linocut style, with the conservation status highlighted to stress the urgency of its plight. It’s both a tribute to one of the Americas’ most unique mammals—and a call to protect the rainforests it helps sustain.
