«This program intervened several areas of the Chapultepec Forest, work is being done in other new hectares that are added to this forest, the largest in Latin America, and one of the spaces that could not be left aside, emblematic and historical spaces that already existed in Mexico City and that people recognize very well, is the Zoo in the First Section of the Chapultepec Forest,» said Marina Núñez Bespalova, Undersecretary for Cultural Development of the federal Ministry of Culture, during a visit to some of the renovated spaces, accompanied by Marina Robles García, head of Mexico City’s Ministry of the Environment (Sedema).

The Undersecretary highlighted the creation of «Anfibium, Museo del Axolote y Conservación de Anfibios», which last year received an award, being recognized as the best shelter by the Association of Zoos, Kennels and Aquariums of Mexico (AZCARM): «It is a very special space, unique, which preserves a species that is already very famous for all of us, the Mexican salamander, and behind us is a fantastic wetland that has brought back different species, I think this space is worth knowing».
