How does tracking work?

• Tracked via VHF (Very High Frequency) collar
• This animal’s safety guarded with the Fahlo Protection Ping™

Every Fahlo tracking experience includes the Fahlo Protection Ping™. This indicates each animal’s unique path may be live, delayed, or historical based on required safety protocol in accordance with our nonprofit partners.

While the experience of following an animal’s journey remains the same for you, we work behind the scenes with our partners to ensure this experience is presented in a way that keeps the animals safe, one step or splash at a time.

Why are sloths tracked?

Sloths are being monitored under the Urban Sloth Project, a research initiative where we are studying the impact of urbanization and habitat disturbance on the lives, behavior, and activity of wild sloths in Costa Rica. This research will help us develop new conservation initiatives and improve our current ones!

How are sloths tracked?

We are using VHF collars that emit radio signals we can detect with a radio receiver. When the signal in the receiver is strong, it means we're close to the sloth! We manually take notes on the GPS points of the sloth. The sloth is usually high up in the canopy, and we have to make sure to visually confirm the collar and antenna on the sloth to be sure it is the one we're tracking.

Does tracking harm the sloths?

Absolutely not! VHF collars are really safe and scientists have been using these devices for years! The collars are also really light and do not interfere with the regular activities of the wild sloths.  The batteries of the collars can last up to 2 years. Once we fit the collar on the sloth, we set the sloth free and can monitor it for several months without the need to recapture the sloths to change batteries. They live their lives up in the trees while we track them on the ground.
