Sloth Problems (and how to solve them) — The Sloth Conservation Foundation
Here we detail the 7 biggest threats to wild sloth populations and explain what we are doing to help. In all cases, the best approach is through the development of long-term conservation solutions that provide sustainable ways for sloths to coexist with the people sharing their habitat.

Do you know why sloths move so slowly? It’s because they have an extremely low metabolic rate, which means they move at a sluggish pace through the treetops. Get more facts on this sluggish tree-dweller: https://wwf.to/3S24wMN. | World Wildlife Fund

Not all sloth work is the same... Some people help orphaned and injured sloths at rescue centers, and although we’ve been there, that’s not what we do! We work with wild sloths: we study them in the forest, learn about their behavior and ecology, and most importantly, we work to protect the habitats they call home. Because the best rescue is the one that never has to happen. Follow us for more research, conservation, and sloth content! Visit our profile to make a gift to sloths and support our p

What's it like to be a sloth researcher? Join José, our biologist and dedicated sloth researcher, for a day of tracking in the Urban Sloth Project, our latest study on the impacts of urbanization and habitat loss. This year, we began analyzing the initial set of data from the first sloths we monitored at the project's start. Looking ahead to 2024, one of our main objectives is to publish the first findings from the Urban Sloth Project! . #Research #Science #Sloths | The Sloth Conservation Founda

We use a drone equipped with a thermal camera to locate sloths in the canopy for our research project, The Great Sloth Census. How many sloths are there? How many should there be? How can we protect a species when we don’t know its population trends? We're researching and working to answer these critically questions. You can support our research and conservation initiatives by donating, adopting a sloth, or purchasing on our Sloth Shop! | The Sloth Conservation Foundation

Did you know sloths make sounds? Two-fingered sloth babies call their mothers with this adorable “meep” sound. Once they become adults, two-fingered sloths stop vocalizing and become mostly silent animals, unless they feel threatened, in which case they can hiss a little!
