墨西哥蝾螈（Ambystoma mexicanum）是文化的象征，是受人尊敬的水族馆宠物，也是生物医学研究中非常有价值的动物模型。不幸的是，墨西哥蝾螈在墨西哥城的Xochimilco自然栖息地处于极度濒危状态。如果美西蝾螈灭绝，目前保护霍奇米利科生态系统的努力将受到破坏，维持世界各地研究工作所需的实验室种群遗传管理工作也将受到破坏。需要全球共同努力，在自然和实验室环境中保护和管理这种不可替代的物种。
The Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is an icon of culture, a revered aquarium pet, and a highly valued animal model in biomedical research. Unfortunately, Mexican axolotls are critically endangered in their natural Xochimilco habitat in Mexico City. If axolotls go extinct, current efforts to conserve the Xochimilico ecosystem will be undermined, as will efforts to genetically manage the laboratory populations that are needed to sustain research efforts around the world. A concerted global effort is needed to protect and manage this irreplaceable species in natural and laboratory environments.
