This month we would like to introduce you to Patricio Silfeni; chief agronomist and manager of the Connected Gardens project.

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.

May Day, May Day! Today is also known as International Workers’ Day, and we want to say THANK YOU to the essential workers who are sacrificing so much to save so many 

Somehow we are almost half-way through 2020 – a year that is turning out to be remarkable for all the wrong reasons. Thankfully I will be sharing with you some happy sloth news and I am relieved to report that Team Sloth are all “hanging in there”.

Today is World Art Day and we want YOU to get creative! Upload photos of your sloth art in the comments and we will re-post our favorites in our social media stories! This fun painting was done by #TeamSloth‘s creative guru in Costa Rica Cecilia Golondrina.

At times like these, it can be easy to get wrapped up in the fear and uncertainty of everything. One of the best ways to combat negative feelings is to practice gratitude – which is why I want to share with you some of our positive “tales from the jungle”!

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay  the theme this year is “sustaining all life on Earth”. All species are dependent on each other for survival – sloths included! But what important role do sloths play? How do they benefit other species? Well did you know that sloth hair is home to a whole ecosystem that is found nowhere else on earth?

It’s a bright, sunny morning in Costa Rica and we are all quarantined inside our beautiful jungle homes. We are social distancing and practicing solitary sloth-like existences in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

We have had a phenomenal year at The Sloth Conservation Foundation and our success is all down to the kindness and generosity of our supporters.

2017 has been an eventful year so far with new sloth research as well as the launch of our coffee-table book – with proceeds going towards supporting The Sloth Conservation Foundation
