One potential new academic field that can be set up and is now an EA cause area is wild animal welfare. While we call it wild animal welfare or wild animal suffering, Yew-Kwang Ng proposed the name “welfare biology” for the field, and some conservationists are calling for “compassionate conservation”. Maybe none of these names is perfect, but you get the idea.
