Sloths

Sloths are endangered due to several factors, including habitat loss, hunting, and the illegal pet trade. These slow-moving creatures are native to Central and South America and rely heavily on their rainforest homes for survival. Deforestation and development have significantly reduced their natural habitat, leaving them with limited resources and increased vulnerability to predators. Additionally, sloths are hunted for their meat and fur and their popularity as exotic pets has led to illegal trafficking. With ongoing efforts to protect and conserve their natural habitats and combat illegal trade, there is hope for the survival of these fascinating creatures.
