The attached 2007 paper of Ruth Amanda Estupiñán discusses the endemic, conservation and taxonomic status of Bolitoglossa paraensis (still B. altamazonic for some).

It's unfortunately in Portuguese language and this is part of the problem.

I briefly googled after news on B. paraensis and found lots of "not evaluated", "data deficient etc" in threat category and taxonomic lists. Communication between third-world researchers and scientific centers should improve if we do care about conservation issues in tropical areas.

English-only science communication seems not to be a solution, for, up to now, it has only kept non-English speakers researchers virtually unheard.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
