Step 1 - Choose Your Sloth:
Tender
We were familiar with this distinctive sloth: we had watched the sloth named Tiki raise him and could often see them hanging out together. Young and chocolate brown, the obvious name for Tiki’s offspring was, of course, Tender.
Read MoreSuzi and Ginger
Suzi and her baby Ginger are a beautiful three-fingered sloth duo who were found hanging out in the lush surroundings of a rental property in the South Caribbean of Costa Rica.
Read MoreLuiza
Luiza is a beautiful three-fingered sloth who lives by the beach. We found her by chance while our tracking team was conducting habitat surveys in the area. Now a part of the Urban Sloth Project, we monitor Luiza every day, and she has given us some adorable surprises!
Read MoreFreckle
Named after a unique freckle in her eye, Freckle’s story began when we found her with electrocution injuries and rescued her. Now fully recovered and a key member of the Urban Sloth Project, she wears a VHF/GPS collar, allowing us to monitor her movements every day as part of our research.
Read MoreDeborah
Deborah lives in the same area as Mango; a brown-throated three-fingered sloth who is part of our Urban Sloth Project, as well as Pumpkin and Pie, a mom and baby two-fingered duo. Deborah very quickly became a team favorite as, along with Mango, she is frequently in the same trees and she is very easy to find!
Read MorePumpkin & Pie
Pumpkin and Pie were first spotted in a small beach almond tree, taking shelter from the rain in what－according to the tenants of a nearby house－is a favorite spot of theirs.
Pumpkin and Pie are just one pair of multiple mom and baby couples we are monitoring through the Urban Sloth Project, allowing us to investigate how offspring disperse through disturbed and developed areas.

The Urban Sloth Project is a long-term investigation into the impacts of habitat disturbance and rainforest urbanization on the behavior of wild sloths in Costa Rica.
Our Very Important Partners (VIPs) are a passionate and determined group of monthly givers on a mission to save sloths from extinction in the wild.
Read MoreMango
Mango lives in a small strip of forest that runs between the beach and SloCo HQ and was regularly seen hanging out in the trees with his mom.
On a stormy and gloomy day in May, we accidentally discovered little Mango huddled on the ground, cold, wet, and seemingly lost.
Read MoreNacho
Nacho is a feisty sloth who lives in the trees above a popular beach bar, and he’s named after one of their best-selling dishes.
Nacho has proved to be very adventurous, often embarking on sloth marathons and traveling vast distances every day!
Read MoreCroissant
Croissant was the first three-fingered sloth to join the Urban Sloth Project. She lives just outside of the main part of town, behind a bakery which sells the most delicious pastries in the South Caribbean: hence her name!
She is a master at camouflage, and often takes the longest to track and locate of all our Urban Sloths

Read MoreAbout Your Adoption
The Sloth Conservation is a registered charitable organization founded by Dr. Rebecca Cliffe, which is dedicated to saving sloths in the wild. To do this, we develop long-term conservation solutions that provide sustainable ways for sloths to coexist with the people sharing their habitat.
This includes collaborating with other organizations, NGOs, and state agencies to reduce the number of injured and orphaned sloths arriving at the rescue centers. With the help of our generous donors and symbolic sloth adopters, we installed over 250 wildlife bridges and connected hundreds of properties as wildlife corridors in Costa Rica.
Our donation process is fully encrypted to ensure all personal and financial information is kept secure.
