For today's Daily Boost I'm resharing the incredible story of Sol and celebrating everyone who saved her life. From @toucanrescueranch - "Sol’s mother was fatally killed due to electrocution. Her mother likely was using power lines to move across fragmented canopy when she was zapped and fell to the ground. Sadly, when rescuers found her mother, she was likely killed instantly. Fortunately, Sol was still hanging on, alive. // Sol was quickly recovered from MINAE (wildlife police) and brought to the Toucan Rescue Ranch clinic for examination. It was soon discovered that Sol received some of the shock and had a limp arm as a result. Our vet staff made a quick decision to amputate to avoid further infection. // Thanks to our amazing vet team, the surgery went extremely well. Sol quickly woke from anesthesia and proved to be a survivor. She is still in critical care and in the sloth nursery. She has become pals with Luna, another three-fingered sloth in our care. Both will go through the Saving Sloths Together program where they will be provided 24/hour care and a rehabilitation and liberation plan, which will hopefully result in a life #backinthetrees, once old enough!" Link in bio or @toucanrescueranch to donate to support Sol's care. THANK YOU to all those who work hard every day to undo our negative impact on the environment, and call 911 if you see an animal in distress! #costaricadailyboost #sloth #sloths #slothsofinstagram #slothrescue #animalrescue #costarica #slothlove #animalshelter #iloveanimals #thisiscostarica #costaricagram #costaricachangemakers

Ladies and gentlemen, in honor of @palmaresoficial_ 2020, I give you: La Tagada. Link in bio to read my argument for taking this crazy-ass ride at least once in life. Just don't wear jewelry you like. Or loose pants. #costaricadailyboost . . . #costarica #palmares #fiestasdepalmares #fiestaspatronales #fair #fairrides #amusementpark #tagada #fun #travelthursday #travel #latinamerica #costaricatravel #visitcostarica #costaricagram #puravida #verano #summerincostarica

Mental health and immigration: a tough combo, especially when you've fled violence and are under intense strain. Too many overlook this problem, but not Ticos y Nicas: Somos Hermanos, an organization that fights xenophobia and supports Nicaraguan refugees and migrants in Costa Rica, and gives scholarships to Nicaraguan students. If you read any Daily Boost, I hope you'll click through the link in my bio to see what president Margarita Herdocia has to say about stress, belonging and volunteering as a way to flip the switch and combat feelings of isolation. She even has a tip for all of us. #costaricadailyboost #mentalhealth #immigration . . . #nicaragua #sosnicaragua #ticosynicassomoshermanos #amigosofcostarica #hugscholars #ulacit #democracylab #support #mentalhealthawareness #saludmental #saludmigrante #derechoshumanos #immigrantrights #wellness #wellnesswednesday #bienestar

In Costa Rica, when you want to see flowers, you look up, not down. Or both, really. #costaricadailyboost #summerincostarica #yoamochepe #floresdecostarica #tropicalflowers #tuesdaybeauty
