Help Zoos in Venezuela!

SAI (South American Initiative), a dedicated non-profit in Venezuela, expands its wildlife rescue efforts to include vulnerable sloths, ensuring they receive proper care and rehabilitation. This image captures a small sloth resting in an orange plastic container, nestled among a red blanket and a large white stuffed animal with a pink nose. The container is placed on a brown woven chair, and the outdoor setting—featuring dirt and greenery—suggests a natural yet structured environment for the sloth’s recovery. Through the dedication of volunteers and the generosity of donors, SAI continues to safeguard rescued wildlife, offering them shelter, nourishment, and a second chance to thrive.
