During work on the Stuttgart 21 rail facilities, careful attention is paid to ensuring that animals and plants are not harmed. The lizards from the Untertürkheim freight station have been safely relocated to replacement habitats that are ideally suited for the species. #stuttgart21 #deutschebahn #conservation ▬ More information ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Deutsche Bahn's comprehensive information platform on the Stuttgart-Ulm rail project: http://www.bahnprojekt-stuttgart-ulm.de/ ▬ What is the rail project ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The Stuttgart-Ulm rail project comprises the reorganization of the Stuttgart rail junction (Stuttgart 21) and the new Wendlingen-Ulm line.
