The study on the biological richness of the “El Mineral de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria” reserve in Sinaloa reveals its outstanding diversity of amphibians and reptiles, as well as the importance of their conservation. Over the years, this reserve, located in Cosalá, has served as a refuge for numerous endemic and protected species, facing challenges such as poaching, habitat degradation, forest fires and complex social problems. Despite these challenges, conservation actions such as environmental education and surveillance have helped mitigate negative impacts. This study highlights the prevailing need to preserve these unique ecosystems to maintain ecological balance, protect the diversity of herpetofauna in the Sierra Madre Occidental and enjoy its ecosystem services, providing a solid foundation for future long-term ecological management and conservation strategies.

Amphibians are organisms that are very sensitive to changes in their environment, which has an impact on their survival, such is the case of emblematic animals such as ambistomatids, a family of amphibians whose larval forms are commonly known as axolotls, of which 18 species are known in Mexico and where one of them is the Bajío axolotl Ambystoma velasci. In this paper I make a chronicle and a reflection on the natural history of a population immersed in Charco Azul, Xichú, Guanajuato, within the Sierra Gorda-Guanajuato Biosphere Reserve, where I mention the real problems of the species to be able to survive in the face of abrupt changes in its environment, and that in the future may lead to the loss of a part of the herpetofaunal wealth of Guanajuato.
