A recently published article by Camila Cassano and colleagues describes the use of a cacao agroforest by maned sloths based on field observation of wild individuals radio-tracked in the vicinity of Una Biological Reserve, southern Bahia, Brazil. The authors estimated the home range of three sloths and investigated the proportional use of cacao agroforest relative to the availability of this habitat in their home range and in the surrounding landscape. Information on tree species used as food sources by maned sloths and tree species present in cacao agroforests from southern Bahia were used to further explore the potential of this environment as habitat for the species. The results indicate that biologically rich cacao agroforests immersed in a landscape still largely composed of native forests might provide habitat for the maned sloth. This result is good news for the conservation of this endangered species, as southern Bahia is one of the most important strongholds for maned sloths and cacao agroforests represent one of the main land uses in this region. In other words, this finding suggests that the extent of habitat remaining for maned sloths in southern Bahia might be larger than expected.
