An introductory reading list on wild animal welfare that covers all the important debates:
Should we intervene in wild animal welfare?
Will interventions work? Are they tractable?
What impact will wild animal welfare have on the long-term future?
The post was part of a 2018 series, the Wild Animal Welfare Literature Library Project.
Wild animal welfare has increased in prominence since then, e.g. Animal Charity Evaluators has regularly identified wild animal welfare as a key cause area.
Yeah, I’ve been thinking of updating the library but that would take enough effort I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I could get started on it whenever if I had some help. Please let me know if you or someone else you know would like to help. I might also make an EA Forum post requesting help, if you think that’d be a better idea.
