The pygmy three-toed sloth is endemic to a single island of Panama, which is protected as a wildlife refuge and is contained within the Comarca Indigenous Reserve. There is a need to improve the enforcement of this protected area, which currently receives little attention from wildlife protection authorities. Conservation of the species could be improved through local awareness programs, specifically those promoting sloths as conservation flagship species (Superina, Miranda & Abba, 2010).
