The lion was found skinned and headless on the edge of Hwange National Park, the killers have not been convicted. In October, the Zimbabwean government dropped charges against Walter Palmer, the Minnesotan dentist who paid £35,000 to hunt the lion. Meanwhile the trial of Theo Bronkhurst, the professional hunter who led the expedition, is ongoing.
The global outcry that ensued was unprecedented. Last month, a new anti-poaching bill was passed by the US House of Representatives. A week later, the French government announced a ban on the import of lion trophies, with UK ministers threatening the same.
“It’s thanks to all the animal-lovers that believe these laws should be changed Without them, nothing would happen,” says Rodrigues,
Professor David Whyte Macdonald, founder and director of Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Unit (WildCru), sounds similarly grateful. The death of Cecil has rescued its conservation project in Hwange, which depends almost entirely on donations; before July, it was in £150,000 debt. It is one of the largest projects of its kind in the world, and in the last 16 years it has tagged more than 200 lions – including Cecil – and used the information gathered to inform conservation strategies, run anti-poaching patrols and educate local communities.
