This is a wall lizard video from Switzerland.
Wall lizards are very rare in the Netherlands. They only live at old military forts around Maastricht city.
‘Development’ plans in Maastricht threaten the animals.
However, the Dutch RAVON herpetologists have managed to change the plans in ways favourable to the Maastricht wall lizards.
The Belvédèreberg hill, formerly a landfill, has been reconstructed for the wall lizards and slow worms.
Also, wildlife tunnels will be built to help the reptiles.
