The lakes where axolotls live, primarily Lake Xochimilco in Mexico, are being drained and degraded due to urban development, pollution, and the introduction of invasive species. These activities threaten the axolotl's natural habitat and contribute to their declining population. Efforts to conserve these unique creatures are hindered by ongoing environmental changes and habitat loss. Conservation initiatives aim to restore and protect their ecosystems to ensure their survival.
