The sloth is the world's slowest mammal, so much so that algae grows on its furry coat. As well as algae, a single sloth may be home to moths, beetles, cockroaches and fungi. They can sleep for up to 20 hours a day. They live up high in the forest canopy but descend once a week to defecate on the forest floor. Although quite slow in trees and unable to walk on all fours, hindered as they are by their long front claws and weak hind legs, they are agile swimmers. Two of the six species of sloths rate high on the list of endangered animals. The pygmy three-toed sloth is "Critically Endangered" and the maned three-toed sloth is "Vulnerable." Their main threats are from deforestation and degradation of their habitat (tropical forests), and by illegal trafficking.

Steve Nayar is a painter living and working in Totnes, Devon. He originally trained to be an art teacher at Nottingham, Trent University but after graduating forged an award-winning career in design and advertising. He always had a love of animals and became concerned about the growing loss of the planet’s biodiversity. So that, in recent years he has focused on realistic paintings of endangered species in oils, often head and shoulders, gazing out at the viewer, sometimes imploring, sometimes challenging. His paintings are in private collections in the UK and overseas. He donates a portion of the sale to various conservation organisations and he has been a finalist at the prestigious Wildlife Artist of the Year every year, for the past five years. For several years he has been invited to teach in Mauritius and in 2022, gave a presentation at the prestigious Caudan Art Centre, in the capital Port Louis about raising awareness of wildlife through art.
