Frankfurt (Oder) (dpa) - The US electric car manufacturer Tesla is still not allowed to clear any forest areas on parts of its construction site in Grünheide near Berlin.

The Higher Administrative Court Berlin-Brandenburg (OVG) partially accepted a complaint from the environmental organizations NABU and the Green League on Friday.

The conservationists had appealed against a decision by the Frankfurt (Oder) administrative court, which had previously approved the felling of the trees.
