Saturday, February 28, 2009 at 11:02 am
London’s wildlife is getting an Olympic boost. Organisers of the 2012 Summer Games said today (February 28) that a 45-hectare wildlife area would be included in the Olympic Park in Stratford, East London, creating a new habitat for otters, amphibians and other species.
The area will include four sites for lizards, ponds to allow amphibians to breed and wetlands where grass snakes can lay eggs.
“The creation of green oases in the Olympic Park will be a fantastic legacy for Londoners to enjoy for many years to come,” London Mayor Boris Johnson said.
“These areas are being carefully designed to provide ideal wildlife havens so that flora and fauna can thrive.”
