This World Animal Day, we’re celebrating the endangered species that helped inspire the creation of the Edwards Aquifer Authority 30 years ago, including the iconic Texas blind salamander, a remarkable creature found nowhere else in the world.
Their story reminds us that protecting the Edwards Aquifer means protecting an entire ecosystem, from its unique wildlife and spring-fed habitats to the clean, reliable water millions of South Central Texans depend on every day.
🃏 At the EAA Education Outreach Center, you can discover some of the unique species that call the Edwards Aquifer home and learn what makes each one special. While you explore, don’t forget to collect your Groundwater Guardians Cards! How many Guardians can you collect? 🔎🐾
