9:09Now PlayingConservationists from Chester Zoo have formed an unlikely partnership with an order of nuns - in a project that could save a Critically endangered amphibian from extinction.
The axolotl - a salamander that is unique to Mexico - has almost been wiped out of its freshwater habitat by pollution and over-fishing.
Now, scientists say that the nuns hold the key to bringing it back from the brink. Our science correspondent Victoria Gill has been to Mexico to visit this unique conservation convent.
