Thanks for the comment. I actually agree that funding research explicitly aiming to decrease the uncertainty about the effects on soil animals would be more cost-effective than funding the cheapest ways to save human lives. However, I do not know about any concrete donation opportunities to support that research. I asked people from RP, the Welfare Footprint Institute (WFI), and Wild Animal Initiative (WAI) about it 3 months ago, and said I would be happy to donate 3 k$ myself. Only Cynthia Schuck-Paim from WFI replied saying Wladimir Alonso from WFI is working on a review related to this post. @tlevin, let me know if you know about such opportunities, or people who may know about them.
