A Note From the Save the Wild Chinchillas Team:
Posted by Jennifer Snyder on Sun, Jul 26, 2009 @ 08:58 PM
Dear members and friends,
Maria has started a search
for wild short-tailed chinchillas in Bolivia. This species was thought
to be extinct in the wild with the last citing in 1939 in Bolivia.
Less than 10 years ago, this species was rediscovered in Chile
by Dr. Jimenez, a member of our Board of Directors. We are thrilled to
be able to help Maria in her quest. We are sending her much field
equipment and have secured just under US$3000 for her project. She
still needs about US$4000. So, we are trying to raise funds by selling
"Chuckle for Chinchillas" t-shirts for US$15. If you would like to purchase, please send check or money order and your return address to:
Save the Wild Chinchillas

To find out more about her project visit

They are currently putting together her project link and it should be
up and running soon. You can also write to me and I will get you in
touch with her.
Thank you for your support!
