BBC Radio 4 - The Sisters of the Sacred Salamander

Why are Mexican nuns breeding a rare salamander? Could they save this remarkable species?

This is a great story. However, it should be noted that the species they are working with isn't the axolotl, but a related species, the Lake Pátzcuaro salamander (Ambystoma dumerilii).
