Mexican Nuns Collaborate to Save Endangered Salamander

"Conservationists from Chester Zoo have formed an unlikely partnership with an order of nuns - in a project that could save a critically endangered amphibian from extinction.

"The axolotl - a salamander that is unique to Mexico - has almost been wiped out of its freshwater habitat by pollution and over-fishing.

"Now, scientists say that the nuns hold the key to bringing it back from the brink."

A recent BBC article reported on this collaboration.
