Good news for biodiversity enthusiasts! 🌿 The Amji’s salamander, a rare amphibian found only in Anji County, Zhejiang Province, is bouncing back—its population has soared from fewer than 60 in 2006 to around 600 today. Talk about a glow-up! 🎉

This little salamander, dubbed the ‘panda of amphibians’ for its critically endangered status, has been the focus of intense conservation efforts. Local teams have ramped up habitat protection, breeding programs, and pollution control, turning the tide for the species. One researcher called it \"a win for teamwork between science and communities.\" 👩🔬🤝

Why care? These salamanders are ancient indicators of ecosystem health. Their revival hints at broader environmental progress in the region. Plus, their story is a reminder that even small steps—like protecting wetlands or reducing plastic use—can make a big difference. 🌏✨
