Well it was the guy I responded to who brought up veganisim as a solution in his top level post, but okay let's talk overpopulation. Axolotl have only ever been known to live in a few lakes which have been almost entirely obliterated by Mexico City, home to 10 million people (21 million if you count the whole metro area!) What exactly do you propose? Even if the population replacement rate in Mexico City were brought below 1, how many years would it take to depopulate the city? Short of forcing people out of the city at gunpoint (and to where, exactly?) how could you actually get the city depopulated in a reasonable amount of time to save the wild axolotl who might have a few years left at most? And how would this undo the habitat destruction which already occurred? How would you remove the structure of the city and restore the environment which it replaced decades+ ago? Urbanization is often touted as the solution to habitat loss; concentrate people in high density urban areas to preserve the environment in the rest of the world. But in the case of Axolotl, they don't care for the rest of the world. They care about that specific piece of land that is under one of the largest metro areas in the world.
