International Sloth Day is celebrated on October 20 each year to raise awareness about sloths and their conservation. This day highlights the importance of protecting these unique animals, which are native to the rainforests of Central and South America. Sloths are known for their slow movements and spend most of their lives hanging upside down in trees. The day encourages people to learn more about sloths, their habitats, and the threats they face, such as deforestation and climate change. Various organizations and zoos may host events or educational programs to promote understanding and support for sloth conservation efforts.
