We don’t know how many sloths there are.
We don’t even know how many there should be.
And that’s a problem.

Sloths are slow and time is fast, and as we said goodbye to the sixth month of the year, we have amazing updates! This month, we welcomed a new SloCo team member: Deily Mora Aguilar, who will be our new Connected Gardens and Sloth Crossings manager.

The SloCo team visited  La Selva Biological Station and Reserve to place GPS collars on the sloths that live there.

THE 19th-century French poet Gérard de Nerval used to take his pet lobster for walks in Paris at the end of a silk ribbon. Asked why he was so fond of this animal, he replied: “I have a liking for lobsters. They are peaceful, serious creatures. They know the secrets of the sea and they don’t bark.”

We hope our newsletter finds you enjoying this lovely month of hearts, friendship, romance, and other springtime giddies. February has been an exciting month here at SloCo, and we are thrilled to be sharing the news and updates with you!

Since 1964 the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has kept a list of the world’s most threatened species. This Red List of threatened species has since become the go-to authority for the status of Earth’s flora and fauna, serving as a critical indicator of our world’s biodiversity.
