The goal of World Wildlife Day is to raise awareness about the current status of endangered and critically endangered wildlife species, and to highlight the power of ongoing conservation efforts to improve their fate which is in accordance with the goals set forth by the United Nations Sustainable Development.

El Día Internacional del Perezoso was created by the foundation AIUNAU as a necessity to bring the world of sloths and their habitat to everyday people to raise awareness towards other living beings and our environment.
