We reported 33 records of this rodent, endemic to Chile and in danger of extinction. The new records expand the altitudinal distribution of the species and reflect that the chinchilla’s occupancy in the coastal desert is broader than historically reported. By being a Natural Monument, to take science-based decisions when developing environmental projects in the near future, the updated information of the regional geographic distribution of the long-tailed chinchilla should be considered.</p> Jorge Mella, Alejandro P.
