On August 1st, the Empire State Building in New York was lit up at night, unveiling a dazzling light show. The three-hour spectacle centered on endangered species, projecting images of 160 of the world's most threatened animals onto the building, including Cecil the lion, who was killed by an American dentist in Zimbabwe. The display aims to raise awareness and inspire conservation efforts for wildlife through these powerful visuals.

This three-hour-long light show was designed and initiated by Louie Psihoyos, the director of the Oscar-winning documentary "The Cove." Images of animals facing extinction were projected onto the 106-meter-high facade of the Empire State Building using vivid and realistic lighting colors. In addition to static images, dynamic footage was also displayed, bringing the animals to life against the backdrop of New York City. Beyond allowing city dwellers to admire their beauty, the event also aimed to draw attention to the alarming disappearance of these magnificent creatures.
