Tapirs play a vital role in their habitat as seed dispersers. They help maintain the diversity and health of the forest by consuming fruits and spreading seeds across various locations while defecating. Additionally, tapirs play a role in shaping vegetation structure through their feeding habits, which can have cascading effects on other species in the ecosystem.
is a niche
A habitat gives living organisms shelter to live. That's what a habitat do.
The combination of an organism's habitat and its role in that habitat is known as its ecological niche. This concept describes how an organism interacts with its environment, including its physical surroundings, resources, and the other species present. Understanding an organism's ecological niche is essential for studying its impact on the ecosystem and predicting how changes in the habitat may affect the organism.
The special role and place of an organism within its habitat is its ecological niche. It includes the organism's interactions with other species, the resources it uses, and how it contributes to the ecosystem's functioning. The niche is crucial for understanding an organism's adaptations and its overall impact on the environment.

yes, the Maylayan Tapir is now endangered because of habitat loss. :(
No, Tapirs are herbivores, Jaguars and Anaconda are the tapirs predators.
many groups of people are helping tapirs recover to a larger population all around the world. they want to bring them into captivity to keep them safe from habitat destruction and poaching until they can breed enough in captivity to bring them off the endangered list, then they will be released back into the wild. People also want to help by stopping their habitat destruction and poaching.
