Our Work
While sloths are our flagship species, our work benefits entire tropical forest ecosystems by reducing habitat degradation and restoring connectivity across fragmented landscapes.
-
Connected Gardens
The Connected Gardens Project unites small properties into continuous biological corridors, harnessing the collective power of private landowner decisions to drive large-scale change.
-
The Urban Sloth Project
The Urban Sloth Project is an ongoing, long-term investigation into the impacts of habitat disturbance and rainforest urbanization on wild sloths in Costa Rica.
-
The Great Sloth Census
We are using drones, expert observers, and a scat-detection dog to conduct the first ever sloth census and collect data that will shape national Red List assessments.
-
Community & Education
Our outreach workshops aim to connect children to nature and to equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify environmental challenges in their communities related to the conservation of sloths.
-
Sloth Science & Research
Understanding sloths means digging deeper into every aspect of their biology and ecology. We fund, coordinate, and publish high-quality research in open-access peer-reviewed journals.

Please note: The Sloth Conservation Foundation is not a sanctuary or rescue center and is not open to the public. SloCo is a non-profit organization that specializes in the conservation and research of wild sloths. Our dream is to prevent sloths from ever needing rescue by tackling the problems that these animals are facing in the wild.
