I consider it very worth it to decrease the uncertainty about how interventions affect the living time of soil nematodes, mites, and springtails, and about their welfare in QALY/animal-year. In particular, it is crucial to know whether they have positive or negative lives. I am not aware of any organisations working reasonably directly on this. I wonder how much money RP or WAI would need to make some progress with targeted projects.
@Bob Fischer, @Cameron Meyer Shorb 🔸, @cynthiaschuck, @Elisa Autric🔹, @mal_graham🔸, @Meghan Barrett, @William McAuliffe, and @Wladimir J. Alonso, do you have any thoughts on the above? I guess a few people would be interested in supporting such targeted projects. @KarolinaSarek🔸, I wonder whether the Animal Welfare Fund (AWF) would be open to this too. I would be happy to donate 3 k$.
