As the canopy rainforest is the home for tapir, using canopy rainforest as the concept could present that we should give them home for the tapirs since one of the extinction reasons is forest destruction and causes tapirs to lose their homes. Canopy rainforest has a very important element which is the multi-layered trees and forest. The element was extracted and widely used in the design of the booth.
