About this campaign
Ume (pronounced oo-may) is only the second tapir birth in the 120-year history of Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. Named by her dedicated keeper staff, Ume means plum blossom and apricot in Japanese. Malayan tapirs are classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), with populations declining due to habitat loss caused by deforestation and human development. Parents Yuna and Baku were paired as part of the Species Survival Plan, a program that helps ensure the genetic diversity and long-term sustainability of Malayan tapirs in human care.
Purchase these "Celebrating Ume" tops proudly, knowing that 100% of the proceeds will support animal care at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.

I love Ume! She is perfect!
Ume stole my heart! Also at my Calgary Zoo a Mayan Tapir is Pregnant and I've been following her!
Tapir awareness
Ume posts have gotten me through the day and counteract the rest of my online social media scrolling. She is the cutest thang!
My wife and I love little Ume and endangered species conservation
in honor of a tapir lover :)
