KUALA LUMPUR, 2 NOV – Tapir Trails, a three-day tapir conservation awareness campaign, was held from 31 October to 2 November 2025 at Cheras LeisureMall. The initiative is organised by PPB Properties, in collaboration with the Department of Wildlife and National Parks Peninsular Malaysia (PERHILITAN) and Peninsular Malaysia Forestry Department.

According to PERHILITAN, the Malayan Tapir is classified as an endangered species, which has fewer than 1,500 remaining in Peninsular Malaysia.

Themed “Follow the Trails, Discover Tapirs”, the campaign invited families to join us on an adventure with various educational and interactive sessions that combine storytelling, art, and environmental learning to raise awareness and nurture a love for local wildlife among the next generation. Each session is yet another stop along the trail, where they collected stamps to redeem small wildlife-themed merchandise.

One of the event’s main highlights is a tapir-themed art competition, which provided children aged 3–12 years old an opportunity to showcase their artistic skills. Young artists won prizes worth over RM2,000 in two categories for colouring and poster drawing, which was held on 1 and 2 November 2025.

Families can explored various informational exhibits, created their own paper crafts, and joined a series of free art workshops. Informational panels on Malayan Tapirs, interactive displays and actual animal exhibits were also available for the community to engage with experts from PERHILITAN and the Forestry Department.
