<div>Supporting Electrocuted Sloth Victims in Costa Rica
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser exists because I’ve seen this problem up close — and once you’ve seen it, it’s hard to look away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve personally worked on research and data collection around wildlife deaths caused by electric fencing and overhead cables. What stood out wasn’t just the numbers — it was how preventable so many of these injuries are.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sloths don’t understand boundaries we create. They move through trees the way they always have, in a landscape that’s becoming more fragmented every year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And sometimes, that movement ends in electrocution.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>In an already challenging world for wildlife, fragmentation adds another invisible threat. Power lines. Electric fences. Cables installed for safety or convenience — but deadly to animals that rely on connected forest canopies to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Some sloths die instantly.
</div>
<div>Others survive, but with devastating injuries — burns, nerve damage, loss of limbs, or long-term trauma.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Those animals don’t make headlines. They quietly arrive at rescue centres, where the real work begins.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="text-editor_textEditorImage__43_GE" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/99625791_1770136375547616_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I set this fundraiser up to support the rescue centre caring for these sloths — the people who treat the burns, manage infections, support long recoveries, and do everything possible to give these animals a chance at release.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This kind of care takes time, skill, and resources. And when funding is limited, animals wait longer than they should — sometimes with life-changing consequences.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The money raised here goes directly towards:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Emergency medical treatment for electrocuted sloths
</li>
<li>Burn care, medications, and veterinary supplies
</li>
<li>Long-term rehabilitation and specialist care
</li>
<li>Transport for treatment and, when possible, safe release back into the wild
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These funds don’t fix fragmentation overnight — but they do mean an injured sloth gets help when it needs it most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="text-editor_textEditorImage__43_GE" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/99625791_1770136456692327_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is already a difficult world for wildlife. Habitat loss, climate pressure, human expansion — and on top of that, hazards they can’t see or avoid.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser is about responding where we can. About easing the pressure on rescue teams. And about turning preventable injury into a second chance at life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you choose to donate, you’re helping support real care for real animals — and standing alongside the people doing this work every day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading, and for caring about wildlife that is too often harmed simply for existing in the wrong place.
