Sloths and giant armadillos belong to the superorder Xenarthra, and although they may seem like very different animals—one living high in the canopy and the other underground in burrows—they actually have many things in common, especially when it comes to conservation challenges.

Hello, dear Sloth Community! The peak of summer and the rainy season has brought us big thunderstorms, flooding, and the high season for tourism in Costa Rica. Despite these challenges, we have continued with our usual work of planting trees and installing canopy bridges, spaying and neutering rescued dogs, and monitoring our sloths for the Urban Sloth Project.
