Last night, New York's Empire State Building flashed digital light projections of world's endangered species including those of Cecil, the Lion whose death sparked international outrage.
Cecil the lion has been projected onto the Empire State building to raise awareness about the plight of endangered animals.
The lion, whose death at the hands of a US dentist last month sparked international outcry, was among a number of animals beamed onto the New York landmark as part of the event.
Along with Cecil, whose death has sparked international outrage, a snow leopard, tigers, lemurs, and various snakes, birds and sea creatures were projected onto the building.
It was organised to promote a Discovery Channel documentary on mass extinction.
The project cost $1 million, according to The New York Times..
