Save Lives With More Sloth Speedways
Deforestation in the rainforest is causing sloths to lose vital connections to their homes, food, and safety. When trees are cut down, sloths try to find other ways to travel – they climb on to electrical wires or they try to cross the road. They end up killed or badly maimed. SLOTH SPEEDWAYS are rope bridges that sloths and other wildlife utilize to travel throughout the rainforest. SLOTH SPEEDWAYS reconnect the rainforest so that sloths and all wildlife can continue to access their known resources to food and safety.
Today, they are more important than ever.
