I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
Thanks for doing this AMA Dr. Cliffe! These questions come from my daughters who are big sloth fans. In fact they think my job is really cool because our mascot is a sloth. 😉
Here's their questions:
Can they visit the Sloth Conservation (assuming post-pandemic 🙃)
How old do you have to be to become a volunteer?
They also wanted to let you know that they've visited the Kids Saving the Rain Forest and have also seen quite a few sloths in the wild as well as their bedrooms.
Hello! So happy to hear that your daughters are big sloth supporters, thanks for sharing the photos! Unfortunately we are not open to the public as we are not a sanctuary or rescue center. SloCo is a non-profit organisation that specializes in the conservation and research of wild sloths - our dream is to prevent sloths from ever needing rescue by tackling the problems that these animals are facing in the wild. We are however aiming to build a sloth education center at the end of the year that will allow us to welcome guests and offer educational opportunities - so perhaps in the future we can show your family around!
We also don't accept volunteers currently as we prefer to provide paid employment for local people in Costa Rica to carry out our conservation programs. We are always looking to have people help out remotely though and we have no age limit on this!!

Thanks for sharing all that info and it's great that you employ local.
