Cecil the lion death sparks £500k in donations
THE death of Cecil the lion has sparked donations of more than £500,000 to an appeal founded by a team of conservation researchers.
Cecil, shot last month by an American dentist, was being studied by Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU) who set up the appeal to fund future big cat research work.
WildCRU announced today that more than £550,000 had been received, meaning the unit’s research may be extended beyond Zimbabwe.
