Protecting Sloths, Preserving Rainforests
Our Commitment to Sloth Conservation
Explore the efforts that protect sloths and preserve their rainforest habitats.
A Shrinking Habitat
In parts of Guyana, rapid deforestation is taking away the trees that sloths rely on for food, shelter, and safety.
As habitats disappear, sloths are often found injured or displaced by local community members and brought to small rehabilitation centers with limited space, funding, and long-term care capacity.
Rescue, Research & Education
Sloth World provides sloths from distressed habitats with a calm, cageless environment supported by trained animal science specialists.
Through active partnerships with university researchers, we contribute biological data, maintain a growing health database, and support research grants that advance sloth science. Ticket revenue directly funds care, education, and ongoing research efforts that benefit sloths globally.

Curiosities From the Canopy
Sloths are full of adorable quirks, rainforest superpowers, and surprising behaviors you might not expect. Here’s a sneak peek at some of our favorite sloth facts, straight from the treetops.
Sloth Toes Are Built for Tree Life
Specialized toes and strong grip strength allow sloths to move confidently among branches, giving them a secure, comfortable way to explore the rainforest canopy from above.
Napping Is Practically Their Hobby
Sloths can snooze for up to 20 hours a day, helping them conserve energy, stay cozy, and comfortably maintain the gentle rhythms that support their unique biology.
Sloth Fur Can Turn Green
A natural layer of algae sometimes grows on their coat, giving sloths a greenish tint that helps them blend into the treetops and remain hidden from predators.
They’re Better Swimmers Than You Think
Using long limbs and smooth strokes, sloths can navigate water surprisingly well, moving more efficiently across rivers and ponds than many people expect.
Expert-Led Experiences
Tours Guided by Our Care Team
At Sloth World, every tour is led by the same ambassadors who care for our sloths each day. They know each animal’s personality, routine, and story, offering a thoughtful, expert-guided experience.
