Peolpe have destroyed thier habitat. About 93% of the maned sloths biome has been destroyed due to allopatric activities. The remaining forests are highly fragmented. Because of this fragmentation the sloths cannot easily travel from tree to tree which has devastating effects on the gene pool. The sloths are isolated on small areas of the forest which means they can only breed with the other sloths who are also isolated in that area as well. This does not produce healthy young.
