  14. Cecil the lionpublished at 01:00 BST 1 July

    On 1 July 2015, a much-loved lion was killed in Zimbabwe by an American trophy hunter.

    Black-maned Cecil was one of the star attractions at Hwange National Park. He was baited outside the park and shot with a bow.

    American dentist Walter Palmer, who reportedly paid a local guide $50,000 to shoot Cecil, was widely condemned. He said he didn’t know Cecil was a known local favourite and had relied on the expertise of a local professional guide to carry out a legal hunt.

    He was cleared of any wrongdoing but the killing became international news and sparked a global debate about trophy hunting and its role in conservation.

    Prof Andrew Loveridge, who had been tracking Cecil for the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, tells Vicky Farncombe about the moment he was told the lion had died.
