			<description><![CDATA[<p>Costa Rica has positioned itself as a successful eco-tourism destination, and tourists cascade into the country with ambitions to see sloths in the wild.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As more tourist infrastructure gets built, more of the famously lethargic-looking animals are getting injured and killed due to the development. Sloths are susceptible to species isolation caused by new roads and buildings cutting off treetop pathways.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A group of conservationists is taking action by shimmying up massive trees and putting up rope bridges for the sloths.
