The Urban Sloth Project aims to compare sloths' behavior and activity budgets in highly urbanized areas with healthier environments (protected primary rainforests).

Over the next 5 years, we will be tracking and monitoring 32 sloths (16 three-fingered sloths and 16 two-fingered sloths) using VHF radio collars and compact data loggers. The results will be used to develop effective conservation strategies to help humans and sloths coexist peacefully.
The knowledge we gain from this project will enable SloCo to make meaningful changes to the lives of sloths living in rapidly changing environments. For example, we will be able to identify which tree species are most important for sloths residing in urban areas, and we can make sure that these species are protected and replenished.
