Exploring Nature: 11 Sloth Sanctuaries Around the World - #8 Is Literally Paradise!

10. Sloth Sanctuary Panama: Bridging Continents and Species

Nestled in the biologically diverse Central America, the Sloth Sanctuary Panama is an essential link in the worldwide sloth conservation movement. Originally opened in 2015, this refuge has become well-known for its creative sloth care techniques and vital importance in safeguarding the rare sloth species existing in Panama.

Since these creatures are only found nowhere else in the world, the work of the sanctuary with the severely endangered pygmy three-toed sloth has especially importance. The centre has created specific care procedures for this particular species, so providing important data for worldwide environmental preservation. The "Forest-to-- Forest" rehabilitation programme of the sanctuary is among its most creative features; it produces a slow transition for sloths saved from captivity returning to the wild.
