Volunteer with sloths
Sloths - aren't they just very, very slow? Yes, sloths move in slow motion; But these animals are by no means boring! Because their sluggish movements are actually an energy saving measure and a fascinating camouflage strategy at that! Sloths skillfully shimmy through the treetops on their hooked claws, but their physique is almost perfectly adapted to "hanging out".
The protection of this animal species is of particular importance, as the natural habitat of the sloth is becoming smaller and smaller due to the intensive clearing of the tropical rain forests.
If you love caring for animals, nursing injured critters and bringing up creative ideas - then volunteering with sloths abroad is for you! Feeding the animals will also be part of your everyday life. In addition to sloths, coatis and kinkajous as well as various monkeys and other animal species also need protection in sanctuaries.
