From the endangered axolotl in the canals of Xochimilco to peregrine falcons nesting on skyscrapers, remarkable wildlife continues to survive alongside people in Mexico’s urban landscapes. Expedition Leader Diana Lopez explores the stories of five resilient species—including opossums, green iguanas and the raccoon-like cacomixtle—and the wetlands, forests and volcanic habitats they still call home. Learn how community-led conservation efforts are helping protect biodiversity in and around Mexico City and discover the important role urban ecosystems play conservation.
