The maned three-toed sloth (Bradypus torquatus) is considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and other threats. While exact population numbers are difficult to determine, estimates suggest there may be between 5,000 and 10,000 individuals remaining in the wild. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect their habitats and ensure their survival.
There are six extant species of sloths, which are divided into two families: Megalonychidae (two-toed sloths) and Bradypodidae (three-toed sloths). The two-toed sloths include the Linnaeus's two-toed sloth and the Hoffmann's two-toed sloth, while the three-toed sloths comprise the brown-throated, pale-throated, maned, and pygmy three-toed sloths. Sloths are primarily found in Central and South America, where they inhabit tropical forests.

Additionally, there are numerous extinct species known from the fossil record.
There are six species of sloths, categorized into two families: the two-toed sloths (Choloepodidae) and the three-toed sloths (Bradypodidae). The two-toed sloths include the Linnaeus's two-toed sloth and the Hoffman’s two-toed sloth, while the three-toed sloths comprise the brown-throated, pale-throated, maned, and the pygmy three-toed sloth. These species inhabit various regions of Central and South America, primarily in tropical forests.
It is estimated that there are around 10,000 to 15,000 three-toed sloths left in the wild. However, their populations are declining due to habitat destruction and other threats. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these unique animals.

Three toed sloths have three toes (per foot) and two toed sloths have two toes (per foot)

they are endangered so not many
Pygmy three toed sloths are endangered and threatened with extinction. A study in 2011 by the WWF found only 79 sloths in their natural home of Escudo de Veraguas.
It is difficult to provide an exact number, but it is estimated that there are around 50,000 to 70,000 sloths left in the wild. Habitat loss, deforestation, and threats from human activities are putting their populations at risk. Efforts are being made to protect and conserve sloths and their habitats.
