Tortuguero is a small village with no streets or cars, nestled between the ocean and a river. It’s known for its sea turtle nesting season, as well as its mangroves, rivers, and canals.

Sloths in the wild learn everything from their mother: where to sleep, what to eat, and even when it’s time to climb down the tree to defecate.

The last days of March are upon us, bringing the Easter Weekend, or ‘Semana Santa’ as we call it here. This week, our little corner of Costa Rica is bustling.

February, Sloth Love Month, is over, and it’s time to say goodbye to our adorable Kokomo, the Sloth of Love, but before the month ends, you still have one day to subscribe to our VIP community to receive the adoption pack of Suzi & Ginger for free!

As we welcomed 2024, the holiday season brought well-deserved breaks for part of our team. So, in true sloth style, we’ve started the year slowly but steadily. Let’s dive into the highlights of the first 31 days of this exciting new year!

The past 12 months have indeed been a rollercoaster – a mix of hard work, intense emotions, and unforeseen challenges. But, with resilience and determination, we’ve tackled each obstacle head-on!

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!

Next month, we’ll be honoring the slowest mammal on Earth! We are gearing up (at our own un-slothful pace) to celebrate International Sloth Day, which is just three weeks away.

We did it! Our first in-person event in the US was a total success! Over 100 guests enjoyed an afternoon of live music, sloth stories, and conservation adventures.

Hello, Sloth community! Here in the South Caribbean, we’re at the peak of the rainy season and carry on the projects with our gum boots! Let’s dive into the news!

I hope this newsletter finds you well! As summer arrives in the Northern Hemisphere and the South enjoys winter days, our little corner of Costa Rica is currently experiencing the rainy season.

New research published! Are sloths nocturnal? How much time do they spend sleeping, climbing, or resting? We are proud to announce our latest published research about sloth activity patterns! Check out the findings of our team in this article!

April was a busy month in the South Caribbean of Costa Rica; we have updates about Luna, an exciting new auction, bridges, camera trap footage, and more!

This month’s newsletter begins with a heartbreaking story of one of our beloved Urban Sloths, but no matter how bad things get, there’s always something that restores your faith in this world. Ours comes from YOU, our sloth supporters, and no amount of gratitude expresses what our community gives back to us in times of need.

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!

At the end of last year, our tight-knit SloCo team scattered far and wide to celebrate the holidays with their families and friends. Some went to the other side of Costa Rica, some as far as countries such as Argentina, the UK, Germany, or the US.

Those of you who have been following SloCo’s work for the last few years know that our modus operandi is community-based projects: reforestation, urban mitigation, powerline insulation, wildlife bridges, responsible tourism campaigns, and more. However, our ultimate goal has always been to protect wildlife habitat before it needs restoring, and to that end, we are really excited to announce that SloCo is creating a 20-hectare reserve of primary forest in the South Caribbean of Costa Rica!

Every October 20th, millions of different people around the world come together to celebrate sloths for reasons nearly as varied as they are: because sloths are a flagship species critical to the biodiversity of their habitats, because they symbolize an antidote to the stress and hurry of our high-speed modern world, or because they are just really cute and interesting animals!

Hello, sloth community! This week we have some great news, and we just couldn’t wait until the end of the month to share it with you! What do the numbers 500, 5,000, 200, and 6,000 have in common? Read on and let us tell you.

We’ve got exciting news this August! We have of course been up to our usual projects: reforestation, education, sloth crossings bridges, and research–and in addition, we’ve got a new team member, a new sloth, and a few new articles for you!
