Fascinating - thanks for this excellent video! I've read a bit about the plight of the axolotl before but you've gone into some very relevant detail. The issue of species maintained in captivity by private individuals is an interesting one and I'm sure that a lot of people don't give any thought to the limited gene pool the animals or plants they keep were taken from. To draw a parallel - I grow Lachenalia viridiflora (a species of "Cape hyacinth") which apart from having flowers with an incredibly rare colour in nature, is extremely endangered in the wild: I believe it's only found in one or two very restricted locations in South Africa where it is threatened by housing and tourism development. On one hand, it's easy to cultivate and propagate - but I expect that all cultivated plants come from a very small initial collection and would probably be of very limited help in reintroduction should the species go extinct in the wild. I may be wrong, though, as in this case there are probably centres such as the Kirstenbosch botanical gardens that are trying to conserve genetic diversity in this species.

This is important, i hope the algorithm picks it up soon
