Swipe Right on Sloths this Valentine's Day!

Welcome to Slinder: a Valentine’s Day campaign from The Sloth Institute that helps you find a match that really matters. This year, skip the situationships and swipe right on something meaningful. When you adopt a sloth, you’re directly supporting real conservation work in Costa Rica, protecting sloths, their habitat, and their future.

We provide life-saving medical care and rehabilitation for wild sloths injured by dog attacks, car accidents, and electrocutions, tragic consequences of shrinking habitat and human expansion. Every sloth in our care receives 24/7 attention, personalized rehabilitation plans, and the chance to grow strong in a safe, natural environment.

Thanks to our dedicated team and proven methods, 90% of the sloths we rescue are successfully returned to the wild, right where they belong.
