Axolotl: A Key Species for Mexico City's Temperature Regulation

The Axolotl, a unique amphibian species, is native to the canals of Sóchimilco in Mexico City. However, due to water pollution and habitat degradation, the Axolotl has become critically endangered in the wild. Scientists and local farmers are working to bring the Axolotl back into its natural habitat through an old agricultural practice called the Chinampas. These floating gardens not only provide a suitable environment for the Axolotl but also play a vital role in regulating the city's temperature. If the wetland and the Axolotl population are not conserved, it could lead to a temperature increase of 2.5 degrees Celsius in Mexico City by 2057.
