Axolotls available as pets are bred in captivity. They breed in captivity quite well, so there's no need to take from wild population to support the pet industry. The wild population is diminishing not because of a pet trade but because of environmental degradation of their ecosystem, meaning that reintroduction efforts from the domestic population isn't really possible.
