Endangered axolotl release in Mexico City wetlands shows hope for rare amphibian's recovery. Scientists successfully released and tracked captive-bred axolotls in restored habitats, where they foraged and thrived. Research suggests these efforts could aid the axolotl's return to its native waters, highlighting the need for habitat restoration and community involvement in conservation. This positive outcome offers hope for the iconic species, crucial for both biodiversity and cultural identity in Mexico.
