When you think of Halloween, sloths may not be the first creatures that come to mind. These “serial chillers” may not immediately strike fear in the hearts of children but have you ever seen a sloth creeping around at night?

To celebrate the end of October we have created some spooky Halloween sloths and listed our favorite spooky sloth facts for you to enjoy! You will notice that we have ‘sloth-ified’ four iconic villains from some of your favorite horror movies: the puppet from Saw, Pennywise, Chucky, and Hannibal Lecter. Happy Halloween!

International Sloth Day is celebrated every October 20th, and it’s the day to learn more about the world’s slowest-moving mammal, raise awareness about the problems they are facing, and how to help wild sloths. But it’s not just a single day—throughout the entire month of October, which we call “SlothTober,” we celebrate sloths and amplify our work to protect these incredible creatures and their habitats.

Let’s be honest – 2020 is turning out to be an extra-ordinary year for all of the wrong reasons. It has been mentally and financially tough for individuals and organizations everywhere. Now, more than ever before, it feels like we are all just ‘hanging in there’ until life can get back to normal.

Did you know that we can thank giant ground sloths for the avocados we have today? Giant ground sloths were one of the few ancient herbivores large enough to swallow avocados whole, thus serving as an important seed disperser for these delicious fruits that we know and love today!

Thank goodness for books! Especially in recent times they have become even more treasured and there’s so much we can gain from them! They can teach us, help us escape, take us on adventures, make us fall in love and so much more.

In this picture you can see our Connected Gardens Project manager, Patricio, riding his bike to deliver some tree saplings. Unless is strictly necessary, whether it´s because the place to plant is too far, or requires a big quantity of trees, We always choose our bikes as our principal way of transportation.

You have probably heard of a murder of crows. What about a parliament of owls? A shrewdness of apes? A bloat of hippopotamuses? Who came up with these terms?

Although there are tons of sloth myths on the internet coming from self-appointed sloth experts, there are actually very few scientific studies that have been done on sloths.

This month we decided to combine our love of sloths with our love of Game of Thrones: Introducing the Game of Sloths!
