The End
In 2015 a bit of Brazil’s rain forest was brought to downtown Leeds with a colourful mural highlighting the plight of the endangered Spix’s Macaw applied to a sadly dilapidated building. Although now extinct in the wild, this species is effectively maintained through a captive breeding program which will reintroduce them to their natural habitat. The dereliction of the abandoned building in Leeds, however, remains unchanged and endangered. And the mural has now vanished - itself becoming extinct.
