Environmental activists say that construction has irreversibly damaged the ecosystems.







Relations between environmental organisations and the authorities responsible for the massive Olympics building programme have deteriorated sharply in recent months.







The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) recently withdrew all co-operation.







It is warning that irreversible damage has already been done to the environment, including the pollution of important rivers and the felling of rare species of trees.







Now the United Nations Environment Programme has added its voice.







The U.N. group recommended a broader review of the impact of other projects. The government said it was aware of the concerns and that the activists were trying to sabotage the Games as a public relations stunt.
