Salamander of the Gods | WILD HOPE

Scientists partner with farmers, fishers, and nuns to save two aquatic salamander species.

The axolotl—an amphibian with incredible regenerative abilities—is ubiquitous in pet stores, science labs and pop culture, yet almost extinct in the wild.

Meanwhile, another team is partnering with salamander-breeding Dominican nuns to save a closely-related species.
