This lovely pair was discovered in the beautiful garden of a local resort.   The owner contacted Dr. Cliffe, founder and executive director of The Sloth Conservation Foundation.

Many locals in the beach town of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, where the Sloth Conservation Foundation is located, help Dr. Rebecca Cliffe and her team by alerting her when they find a sloth.

Firstly, a heartfelt thank you for joining us in celebrating Slothtober! International Sloth Day was an overwhelming success with the outpouring of loving messages, photos, art, and fundraisers from around the globe!

The Kukula Kids’ Club, a new initiative for The Sloth Conservation Foundation, aims to enable and empower children with additional educational classes, gain new skills through workshops and provide them with fun activities they may not usually have access to due to geographical or financial barriers.

Welcome to Sloth Town, Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, a brightly colored surf town in the South Caribbean of Costa Rica.  In Puerto Viejo, it is not uncommon to find sloths awkwardly climbing along fences or under the eaves, hanging out in bars, and generally making themselves at home.
