8. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Leslie Howle, Co-Founder, The Toucan Rescue Ranch:
"To get her as a pet, people pulled down hard on her hind legs to separate her from her mother, and they broke all her hip muscles, to get her down so she could become someone's pet. And so she suffered a lot of pain and also couldn't move. We had to give her a high dose of anti-inflammatories and vitamins to regenerate the muscles, and we also gave her physical therapy like massages, and we would take her out to the grass to walk every day until she made her recovery. It was a process of six or eight months, but it worked, and now she's recovered."

15. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Ana María Villada Rosales, Resident Veterinarian, The Toucan Rescue Ranch:
"In the case of babies, the moment we receive them we do a medical exam. Once this test is done, we examine them because they usually come from free life or they are orphans so they bring some diseases. Then they are de-wormed, they are rehabilitated until they are in better health, and then they are placed in a group with other juveniles so that they become familiar with those who are going to be released and so that they are not alone because at this age they are usually always with their mother. In this way, being with another sloth, they do not have this anxiety or stress caused by loneliness. Part of rehabilitation work with the babies is to teach them to defecate on the floor every day, and that's what is happening back here."
16. Wide of volunteers preparing food in kitchen
17. Close of food bowls

23. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Daniel Quintanilla Mendoza, Environmental Education Coordinator, The Toucan Rescue Ranch:
"Many of the cases we receive are the fault of human beings. It's clear that natural selection influences many factors and it's also true that humans shouldn't interfere or not so much, but from my point of view, if we are the ones that are affecting these species, then it's our duty to play a part, rescue them and help them as much as possible. For example, animals that get hit by vehicles, or that get electrocuted - in those situations, what's happened is down to us, it is our fault, and at that time we must intervene. As human beings we cannot leave an animal who has been electrocuted, in these circumstances just because of natural selection. Obviously there could be other cases, we would have to look into them, but the three (main) reasons why we get them here, the majority are cases where humans have had something to do with it, and in these cases we have to act."

LEAD IN:
Sloths thrive in tropical rainforests in South and Central America, but as human populations grow, the slow-paced mammals are facing new threats.
In Costa Rica, one animal shelter is focussed on caring for sloths who've been abducted, hit by cars, or even electrocuted in nearby human settlements.
STORYLINE:
With their slow, deliberative movements and quizzical demeanours, it's easy to love the Hoffman's two-toed sloth.
This species lives in forests in Central and South America, and spends much of its time hanging around upside down.
While the pygmy three-toed sloth is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the Hoffman's two-toed sloth is classified as Least Concern.
But that's not say these animals live an existence free of threats.
Here at the Toucan Rescue Ranch near San Isidro, about 20 kilometres north of San Jose in Costa Rica, the sloths have some heart-breaking stories.
Some have been orphaned, others attacked by dogs, while still more have been hit by cars or electrocuted by power lines.
Others were mistreated by humans trying to sell them as pets.
"To get her as a pet, people pulled down hard on her hind legs to separate her from her mother, and they broke all her hip muscles, to get her down so she could become someone's pet. And so she suffered a lot of pain and also couldn't move. We had to give her a high dose of anti-inflammatories and vitamins to regenerate the muscles, and we also gave her physical therapy like massages, and we would take her out to the grass to walk every day until she made her recovery. It was a process of six or eight months, but it worked, and now she's recovered," explains the ranch co-founder, Leslie Howle.
The ranch would not allow the cameras in to film the recovering sloth.
Ana María Villada Rosales is the resident veterinarian here at the rescue ranch.Here she uses a stethoscope to assess a new arrival.
Elsewhere, volunteers are teaching juveniles how to defecate on the ground. In the wild sloths come down from their trees to defecate . Moths lay eggs in their dung and produce an algae that is thought to be nutritious for the sloths and also serve as a camouflage.
It's all about readying the sloths here for a life back out in the wild, making sure they have the skills to survive.
"In the case of babies, the moment we receive them we do a medical exam. Once this test is done, we examine them because they usually come from free life or they are orphans so they bring some diseases. Then they are de-wormed, they are rehabilitated until they are in better health, and then they are placed in a group with other juveniles so that they become familiar with those who are going to be released and so that they are not alone because at this age they are usually always with their mother. In this way, being with another sloth, they do not have this anxiety or stress caused by loneliness. Part of rehabilitation work with the babies is to teach them to defecate on the floor every day, and that's what is happening back here," says Villada Rosales.
In the kitchen, volunteers are preparing meals for the sloths, while in a nearby enclosure, teenage sloths snack and snooze.
Before this rescue centre was set up, little was known about how to care for and rehabilitate sloths.
Attempts to feed the sloths with cow's milk, for example, tragically failed, after some of the animals died.
Now, the centre's volunteers know to use goat's milk instead.
The volunteers' main role is to make sure the sloths here will be equipped for the wild.
They encourage the mammals to climb trees, feed on leaves, and learn to find good places to sleep.
Every attempt is made to keep human touch to a minimum, to avoid attachment.
"Many of the cases we receive are the fault of human beings," explains Daniel Quintanilla Mendoza, the Environmental Education Coordinator at the ranch.
"It's clear that natural selection influences many factors and it's also true that humans shouldn't interfere or not so much, but from my point of view, if we are the ones that are affecting these species, then it's our duty to play a part, rescue them and help them as much as possible. For example, animals that get hit by vehicles, or that get electrocuted - in those situations, what's happened is down to us, it is our fault, and at that time we must intervene. As human beings we cannot leave an animal who has been electrocuted, in these circumstances just because of natural selection. Obviously there could be other cases, we would have to look into them, but the three (main) reasons why we get them here, the majority are cases where humans have had something to do with it, and in these cases we have to act."
The ranch has released more than 100 sloths - both two and three fingered - into the wild since 2007.
The Toucan Rescue Ranch works closely with the Ministry of Environment and Energy of Costa Rica (MINAE) who bring injured and displaced wildlife to the centre. It works with the non-profit organisation Sloth Institute to track the animals once they are reintroduced to the wild.
But some of the sloths are reluctant to go: here, in a soft-release area, this sloth is in no hurry.
"This enclosure is already in a much more natural environment that the sloths can access directly through what we call a soft release, the enclosure opens and the animals, through this connection they have here, they can decide to leave when they are ready," explains Sara Ferreiro, the Release Supervisor at the Saving Sloths Together rescue programme.
Those that do eventually leave seem to thrive in the forest.
Although the Hoffman's two-toed sloth is listed as 'Least Concern' by the IUCN, the union lists farming, ranching and wood and pulp plantations as its main threats. Its habitat stretches from Cosa Rica and Ecuador to the Amazon rainforests in Peru and Bolivia.
