We are happy to announce that we were able to reunite this mother and baby 3-fingered sloths (Bradypus variegatus).

How is the process to release a sloth? When the baby first arrived, is checked by our Veterinarian Team. If the sloth is healthy, is moved to the Nursery; if not, it will stay at the clinic until it is healthy enough to be moved.

On May 12 we started the campaign “Drive for Life” where the goal was to raise $15,000 to be able to buy a “new” second-hand truck.

The sloth became the 16 national symbol here in Costa Rica.

Check us out on Zac Efron new series “Down to Earth” as he travels around the world focusing on sustainable living pratices, nature and green energy. We’re part of the Costa Rican episode where our co-founder Encar shows the center around to Zac and Darin and explains our mission.

June was a fantastic month of releases. Knowing that the animals, which we worked hard to rehabilitate, are back in their own environment makes all the difficulties we encountered worthwhile!

The two are now back where they both belong, happy day! A big thank you to SINAC and Cahuita National Park for letting us release them in this incredible park.

After spending one year with us she’s finally back where she belongs

She was found in a field hanging tight to her dead mother and along with her mother were 7 other dead adult monkeys

Sunday, early in the morning, we received a call about a sea turtle being stuck between two palm trees without any chance of freeing herself.
