The Russian city of Sochi is set to host the 2014 Winter Olympics. Construction for the event has begun.

But conservations are concerned building is threatening endangered species surrounding the city - home to many protected plants and wildlife.

The problem has prompted the World Wide Fund for Nature, hired by Russia to advise constructors, to suspend their work in protest.

Al Jazeera's Neave Barker reports from Sochi.
