Axolotl Conservation Project
Donation protected
Hello, My name is Zach and I am 11 years old. Ever since I found out Axolotls were critically endangered (which was a while ago) I always wanted to help these fascinating salamanders. For my own research, I even adopted one, but he has sadly passed away due to an internal sickness that, sadly, could not be cured. Axolotls are at the brink of extinction, with only 1000-50 remaining in the wild. I think these wonderful creatures ought to live longer for they have some amazing abilities, such as regrowing whole limbs within a week. I want to collect all the donations I can get, then share at least 3/4 of what I collect with Moja, a Mexican charity to help Axolotls and their habitat. The other quarter will go to supplies for their tanks and things needed for scientists at the Ambystoma Genetic Stock Centre (AGSC) to study these amazing amphibians.
