We donated five Sloth Crossing canopy bridges to help reconnect fragmented forest habitats in Mata de São João, Bahia, Brazil, home to the rare and endangered Northern Maned Sloth (Bradypus torquatus).

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.

You may be surprised that only three of the seven species of sloths are considered threatened with extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), who the vast majority of the scientific community consider having compiled the most comprehensive and reliable information source of population counts and risk levels facing flora, fauna, and fungi.
