We have six-month volunteer internship in Costa Rica!
Volunteers must be extremely dedicated to sloth conservation, very organized, and willing to forgo personal comfort for the benefit of the animals. You will be hot, sweaty, wet, cold, eaten by mosquitos, sleepy, sore, and tired but you’ll still feel that there is no other place in the world that you would rather be than watching sloths in the jungle.

Become a supporter and help sloths return to the wild!
Together, with our supporters, we recognize the relationship that binds humans, animals and the rainforest. Though the rainforest covers less than 2 percent of the Earth’s total surface area, the world’s rainforests are home to 50 percent of the Earth’s plants and animals! Sloths are rescued for many reasons, including electrocutions, infant abandonment, diseases, dog attacks, automobile collisions and illegal animal trade; most of these causes are a result of human interaction and negligence—making their rescue, rehabilitation, and release of utmost importance. By supporting TSI, you help fund our volunteer research and education programs directed at creating a positive change for community education and wildlife conservation programs. With your support, we can make a difference.
