The Toucan Rescue Ranch is a licensed Costa Rica wildlife rescue facility, Costa Rica foundation (300667701803) and a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization (EIN: 80-0516453). THE SLOTH INSTITUTE (TSI) The Sloth Institute Costa Rica (TSI) was founded in 2014 for enhancing the welfare of captive and wild sloths through research and education while collaborating with sloth rescue programs to assist with the care, raising, and release of orphaned sloths. While TRR Sloth Interns do not usually work at TSI, staff from TSI will communicate with TRR Sloth Interns and periodically visit to assist with monitoring and caring for TRR’s sloths. SLOTH REHABILITATION AND RELEASE PROGRAM The Toucan Rescue Ranch rescues injured and orphaned sloths that are victims of electrocution, car accidents, dog attacks, and other incidents. An individual sloth’s rehabilitation and release depends on its condition and age. Adult sloths with minor injuries will be released directly back into the wild as soon as they’re fully recuperated, while adult sloths with more severe cases (such as amputees) will require a longer recovery. Orphaned babies will be placed with a specific "grade" in the release program depending on their age, including Preschool (newborn to 6 months), Elementary School (6 months to 1 year), High School (1 year to 1 and a half years), College (1 and a half year to 2 years), and Graduate School (2+ years). The College and Graduate School phases are located at the Toucan Rescue Ranch’s Release Site, where sloths are kept in soft-release enclosures before being given tracking collars and finally being released into the wild.
