#InternationalSlothDay We’re just over two months away from 2026, and every Monday from here on out can feel like a climb up a kapok tree, so we hope to slow your day down a bit and fill it with the best sloth joy to start your week with all the energy sloths don’t have!
First, look at what we’ve achieved together!
Thanks to your incredible support, here’s what this community has accomplished over the years:
8,000 hectares of fragmented forests reconnected
82% reduction in wildlife conflict events in target areas
12,200+ sloth-friendly trees planted
360+ Sloth Crossings installed — the largest canopy bridge network in the world!
800+ rescued dogs sterilized to prevent wildlife attacks
10 scientific papers published and counting!
Thank You for keeping the mission alive!
Around 80% of our funding comes from individual supporters like you. We’re so proud that, among so many worthy causes, you’ve chosen to back our mission to protect sloths and their forests.
We’re now entering the final stretch of our $30,000 Slothober fundraiser to build the new Sloth HQ—and we’d love your help to cross the finish line!
Even if you can’t donate right now, your support in other ways—sharing your art, sending messages, commenting on posts, or simply cheering us on—means the world to us.

Eternal thanks for inspiring millions of us. You will be forever loved and remembered.
Thank you Dr. Jane Goodall 🦍❤️

Sloths and sea turtles couldn’t be more different. One is a furry mammal, and the other is an aquatic reptile. However, they actually have more in common than you might think!

The Sloth Conservation Foundation (SloCo) is a registered non-profit organisation dedicated to saving sloths in the wild through research and conservation initiatives. Based on the belief that every single person has the ability to make a positive difference, we are focused on inspiring individuals to care about sloths, to protect the rainforest ecosystem and to safeguard a future for the planet that we all share.
Sloth populations are in decline throughout South and Central America as they struggle to adapt to the urbanisation of the rainforest. Saving these incredible animals from extinction now requires innovative and long-term conservation solutions that provide sustainable ways for sloths to coexist with the people sharing their habitat. We have developed a range of community-based programs that help us to achieve this mission.
