” I recognize that the ‘circle of life’ requires all type of types of animals, consisting of mischievous monkeys and carnivorous cats, and no offense to those animals that require to eat other animals to survive.”

” However just how can I not be drawn to species that just intend to eat their leaves, relax in the sunshine and the breeze and have a great scrape?! Additionally, they have a extremely interested and playful side, something most people have never ever and will never see, however it is definitely the most special thing I have ever seen.”

The Institute employs a special “soft” release technique. It permits sloths to gradually adapt to the jungle prior to venturing out on their own.

The Institute’s key objectives are ‘research for sloths in captivity and in the wild’, ‘collaboration with other sloth-related institutions throughout the world’, and ‘education to establish and spread accurate and balanced information on sloths to the general public.’
