Description
Our goal is to restore essential habitat for endangered chinchillas (C. lanigera) while dissuading habitat degradation in this ecosystem. Specifically, we will focus on ecosystem restoration in Quebrada Cuyano utilizing native vegetal species, many of which, like the fauna, are endemic and of grave conservation concern.
Our purpose is to reinstate habitat not only for wild chinchillas but also for native insect, amphibian, reptile, bird, and other mammalian species, with help from the local populace. In Quebrada Zapallar, we will create exclusive livestock grazing areas, thus curbing grazing of native vegetal communities that support local fauna, including chinchillas.
