The Sloth Sanctuary - Costa Rica is dedicated to researching, educating and rescuing sloths in Costa Rica.

  •  

The day was steamy and I was walking down the rugged road that leads to the entrance of Cahuita National Park in Costa Rica. "Hola!" Someone yelled as I heard them running up behind me. I turned quickly and a middle aged man help up a baby sloth. "Photo?" He asked. He was using this sloth baby, obviously only a few days old, to lure tourists into a photo opportunity. Often the mother is killed and the baby snatched. These infants oftentimes end up at our sanctuary when they are too weak to recover.

We are actively working on local educational programs for both tourists and residents. Please help us!

    Our six-year-old chose the Sloth Sanctuary to donate his allowance to after seeing the "Too Cute" segment on TV.
