Germany: Tesla site blocked twice in one week over hibernating snakes and lizards
After briefly getting the green light to continue clearing a forest near Berlin, Tesla was ordered by a second court to halt work. Conservationists have raised concerns about lizards and snakes who live in the woods.
German nature groups are worried hibernating snakes and lizards could be killed if Tesla continues to clear the woods
Work on Tesla s planned factory outside of Berlin was halted for the second time this week, after a court issued a temporary halt to construction on Thursday.
The Berlin-Brandenburg Higher Administrative Court ordered Tesla to halt work on clearing a forest after nature conservation groups Grüne Liga (Green League) and the Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) filed an emergency appeal.
