Sloths come and go. Some sloths are special, 19November was special. She blessed us with a baby every single year since her release in 2017. And then last year she joined the Constellation of Sloth, and is looking down upon us. One more bright star .
So did one of her children stay around? The first one was called Madelin, the second 9July and the last one was June. We hope they did. And we wonder if the new baby we first saw on the 4th of March was maybe a grandchild of 19November. Wouldn’t that be wonderful. Only by studying the pictures of her offspring closely will we be able to determine if the mother is Madelin. The most likely candidate at 4 years old. And probably like her mother, not worried about the humans in the big building. We just wanted to bring you this news and also ask you to join us in celebrating 20 years of GlobalGiving.
Since 2005, Green Heritage Fund Suriname has rescued over 1000 sloths, anteaters and armadillos from difficult situations, and in 2015 our founder, Monique Pool, was nominated as CNN Hero for her conservation work—but we wouldn’t have been able to do this alone!
On Wednesday, March 23, 2022, 11 a.m. to noon ET, join us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our partner @GlobalGiving, a nonprofit which has been helping us to move all Surinamers to make wise decisions for the sustainable use of our natural resources since 2015—and supporting community-led change around the world since 2002.
From intimate portraits of local changemakers to live performances by international art groups, this event will celebrate the contributions of community leaders across the globe—and that includes you!
