Donate
In order to keep the Sloth Sanctuary operating we need your support. All money that is donated goes directly to the rescue, research, and rehabilitation of the injured and abandoned sloths. We also provide permanent homes to sloths that can not return to their natural habitat. Please consider donating through our PayPal account.
Our Sloths
Here at the Sloth Sanctuary we have 2 types of sloths: Bradypus variegatus / Three-fingered sloth and Choloepus hoffmanni / Two-fingered sloth.
Sloth Tours
It is one of our primary goals to educate the public about sloths. Sloths are by nature very gentle animals though they are still wild animals and deserve respect and understanding. We have opened our Sanctuary to give the general public an opportunity to learn about them, their diminishing habitat, and the role that humans play in all of this.
Our Mission
For the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica to be a facility that advocates the protection and rehabilitation of sloths in recovery, specifically through the study, research and exchange of knowledge that facilitates the development of scientific information for Costa Rica’s two species of sloths, the Bradypus variegatus – “Three-fingered” sloth and Choloepus hoffmanni – “Two-fingered” sloth. The sanctuary shall strive to promote and foster initiatives that heighten people’s awareness of sloths and to provide educational information on the importance of the species and their Costa Rican environment.
