Unfortunately, we set a new record this month by saving 100 animals. We have stated that in the last ten years, we have never received this many animals in a single month.

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

Learn about the rehabilitation process we use at the JRC, where baby sloths are nurtured and prepared for reintroduction into the wild.

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

JRC had the opportunity to join Jennie Webber, a UK based wildlife artist, in a sloth drawing class, who helped raise money for the center.

Lollypop, Mati, Garibaldi and Preciosa will start a new life next to the sea in the beautiful wild nature of the Caribbean Coast in Congo Bongo EcoVillage Costa Rica.

We’ve developed a system to track the sloths that have been released with daily tracking in the forest. Photos by The Sloth Conservation Foundation.

Sloths spend all of their time in tropical forests, living a peaceful life. Pollution is threatening their survival and changing their natural surroundings in ways we don't understand. Air, water, noise, and light pollution from humans affect sloths and their surroundings.
