World Tapir Day 2023
World Tapir Day is April 27th and it’s a time to learn about, and appreciate, one of the most unusual and amazing animals on our planet. At Inspire EdVentures we love the chance to see tapirs on our camera traps in Belize, or better yet, visit them live at the Belize Zoo.
That’s why we have teamed with the Belize Zoo and Belize Tapir Project to prepare these videos and articles for you. Scroll down to the end to see how you can help support conservation efforts for our friends the tapirs!
The Belize Zoo will be having a special Birthday Party for Sparks on Friday April 28th! Follow their social media sites on FaceBook and Instagram for details!

Your chance to make a difference….
If you’ve ever been to Belize, you’ve probably been amazed to see one of these roadside signs. These signs play an important role in getting motorists to slow down in areas that are frequented by tapirs. In do so, they help protect tapirs from one of their most dangerous enemies - cars.
We partnered with the Belize Zoo to provide you a chance to get a set of decals of this icons sign, AND support tapir conservation. So scroll down for more information!
