World Cup's environmental impact threatens axolotl's survival despite using it as a symbolic mascot. | The article highlights a paradox: while the axolotl is used as a cultural symbol to promote the 2026 World Cup, its survival is threatened by the event's environmental footprint. The awareness campaign has positive educational value, but the underlying event's infrastructure and commercialization risk exacerbating habitat loss for a critically endangered species.
