Sam Trull, co-founder of the Costa Rica Sloth Institute, has been helping animals return to the wild since 2013. The institute has three main tasks: the study of sloths in captivity and in the wild, cooperation with other institutes around the world studying these milah, and bringing important information to the public. Sam is also the author of the book Slothlove, dedicated to her favorites.
