Without a natural or artificial canopy bridge the only way for a sloth to cross a road is by crawling, which takes a lot of time and energy and leaves them very vulnerable to traffic collisions, dog attacks, and human disturbance. We are constructing specialized ‘sloth crossing’ canopy bridges to make it easier for sloths to travel across roads and between forest fragments in urban areas.

This donation will buy the raw materials needed to construct a single-rope canopy bridge to help sloths safely travel. If you sponsor a Sloth Crossing, we will install a personalized wooden plaque next to the bridge engraved with a name of your choice (this would make a fantastic gift for any sloth lover)! For gift sponsorship, we can also email an information pack as well as photos of the finished bridge and plaque after installation (just send us an email after your purchase)! (The donation form takes around 3 seconds to load!)
