One of several bronze statues on Puebla de Zaragoza Cinco de Mayo. Amy Louise Camacho Wardle (Los Angeles, 05 August, 1963 - Puebla, 25 June , 2020), better known as Amy Camacho, was a Mexican businesswoman, activist, environmentalist, and public official. When she was very young, her family moved to Puebla City, settling near Lake Valsequillo and the Atoyac River, where they started a private wildlife collection. 02 April, 1972, the Camacho family opened Africam Safari, the first zoo of its kind in Latin America, housing animals in an open environment that emulates life in their natural habitat. In 1976, when Amy was 13 years old, her father died as a result of injuries sustained by a Bengal tiger in an accident. Four years later, Louis Wardle died of a brain tumour. In 1980, at the age of 17, Amy assumed leadership of the zoo with the support of her younger siblings. In 1992 she became the first woman to appear on the cover of Expansión magazine due to the success of her management as head of the zoo. Under Amy's direction, Africam Safari became one of the most important animal sanctuaries in Mexico and Latin America, housing more than 5,000 animals of 450 species and offering a significant conservation program for endangered animals. From 1996 to 2000, she served as president of the Puebla State Tourism Council and as a member of the Puebla City Council's Strategic Decisions Bureau from 2002 to 2005. Camacho Wardle died 25 June, 2020, after several days of hospitalization due to a stroke.
