In addition to capturing evidence of trespassers, the rangers are using their cameras to photograph species found on the reserve. Rangers’ new camera help protect threatened species The cameras had been kindly donated by Olympus, after they heard about WLT’s Keepers of the Wild initiative through Media Bounty, one of our corporate supporters. This successful release back into the wild was recorded on camera by the ProAves’ rangers. The rangers gave it a clean bill of health and it was released into the safe haven provided by the reserve. Luckily for this particular sloth, it was spotted near the El Pangan nature reserve by police who immediately alerted the ProAves’ reserve rangers, who came to its rescue. Sloths find it very difficult to move across the floor, so frequently get disoriented and stumble into populated areas. Here, they are exposed to their main predators the Jaguar, the Harpy Eagle, and humans. This recently happened near the El Pangan nature reserve created in 2009 by conservation organization Fundación ProAves (a WLT partner), to help protect the threatened Chocó rainforests of southern Colombia.Īs sloths come to clearings in their once dense forest, they are forced to climb down from the safety of the treetops and struggle across open ground. Sloths prefer to spend most of their time in the canopy and are rather ungainly when forced to move around on ground but as their natural habitat becomes fragmented through deforestation, in many places they are forced to come to ground level. ![]() ![]() Only when they come down to ground level do they become vulnerable. Tree dwelling sloths in the rainforests of Central and South America have very few natural predators blending into the trees in the forest canopy and moving very slowly, they do not attract attention.
