Paris Converts Old Rail Line Into Green Space To Provide Climate Relief

Paris is transforming a ring of abandoned train tracks into green areas to help residents cope with extreme heat.
The project aims to offer cooling spaces as the city has less green space than other European capitals.
The old tracks are currently home to wildlife that may be harmed by opening the area to the public.
more acres will open in the next 3 years with the goal of creating climate-resilient green space.
Some animals have already declined as public access has increased in recent openings of the tracks.
