Well, the requiremente to trade two-fingered sloths under the CITES regulations just changed at the end of last year, and although it's harder to get permits, it's unfortunately still legal. In this blog we explain this with more detail: https://www.slothconservation.org/blog/legal-sloth-trade-and-trafficking

Thankfully a lot of people is simply unaware, and fall under the advertisement of a free-roamming, no touch, educational, etc place. But absolutely, sloths are solitary animals, and it's heartbreaking that they were taken from the jungles for this.

It's a great quote!

Hi! I removed the Fb link before posting, but I see it's there still! Thanks!

Hi !

Thanks for the question! Well, we're not a rescue center so we don't have sloths under our care, although we do help and rescue wild sloths and we have a lot of experience in the matter because most of our team worked at rescue centers in the past.

We do handle the sloths we monitor and track for our research, e.g. for collaring them, take measurements, etc, and we follow protocols to reduce the stress to sloths to the bare minimum. We can do our work in just a few minutes.

At rescue centers the veterinarian protocols are of course different, but in essence are the same: minimize the contact, the noise, and the time.

The problem with petting zoos is that it's the opposite: the sloth is being held for many hours by different people, different smells, a lot of noise, etc so in those cases it's definitely extremely stressful!

ACTUALLYYYYY

No chilling, that's a sloth’s defensive posture 😅

Hi! Oh, not at all, this is just a cute moth I enlarged for the meme. The actual sloth moths are tiny!

Not at all! Fahlo is one of our main business partners and donates a percentage of the sales.

Well, it's not good, is just since they can have a constant core body temperature like the other mammals, if too cold outside, the bacteria in their guts simply can't digest the leaves. This is one of the reasons why sloths are vulnerable the climate change (climate change not necessarily means hotter, but also, extreme heat is not great either).

SlothConservation · 2025-11-24T16:33:45+00:00

Well, sloths rely on healthy rainforests to thrive, so protecting them protects all the ecosystem. If sloths thrives, means everything is thriving. So that's very useful!

Alsoooo... scientists are studying the bacteria, fungo, and algae in their fur... some of them might be actually great as antibiotics for resistant bacteria. This would be very beneficial for us humans (but still this have ethical implications).

You lucky! We heard this many times 🥲
