Venezuela Sloth Rescue Exposes Wildlife Electrocution Crisis
A recent sloth rescue from electrical wires in Venezuela highlights the rise in wildlife electrocutions across Latin America.
Rescuers in Venezuela saved a sloth trapped on electrical lines, drawing attention to a wider problem plaguing wildlife in the region.
The animal, clinging to high-voltage wires in an urban area, faced certain death from electrocution.
Teams from the Chuwie Rescue Center in Miranda State acted fast, using insulated tools to bring it down safely before releasing it back into a nearby forest.
The center, founded by Haydée and Juan Carlos after saving an electrocuted sloth named Chuwie in 2021, handles dozens of similar cases each year.
