Amphibians have been in a chytridiomycosis (Bd and Bsal) pandemic for almost 6 decades, which is declining their populations. Talking about his life story, Dr Eira Rebollar, has found that axolotls (Ambystoma) are immune to this fungus. Axolotls could be the key to saving thousands of amphibian species in the world
