October 20 is International Sloth Day, and we’re bringing back the story of a sloth named Arthur. We met Arthur during fieldwork — a sight that’s sadly common here in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Unless a sloth is in danger, like near a road, dogs, or power lines, the best thing to do is not interfere. Instead, we focus on helping humans and wildlife peacefully coexist — by building canopy bridges and reforesting urban areas to create safe passages for sloths. Make your gift to sloths today at slot
