Each of the 120 IUCN Specialist Groups are required to prepare and publish a species Action Plan for their respective species. These plans identify the actions necessary for the survival of species. Each year, TSG organizes a Population Habitat Viability Assesment meeting in order to focus on each individual species. Together these PHVA reports will create a new Action Plan to update and build upon the one we published in 1997. The report from the 2005 Baird's Tapir PHVA is coming soon.
