Theirs an estimated 7.7 million animal species, I think practically any sort of mass redesign of the worlds biosphere to be utopian would have to involve lots of animal extinctions unless you are suggesting genetically modifying nearly 8 million species
Theirs less than 10,000 known sponge species and only 3 known placazoa species, all remaining animal species have some form of nervous system. based on known species, the vast majority of those are arthropods, which have central nervous systems.

Thanks for the comment.
It would focus on species that have the capacity for suffering and enjoyment, so not all species.
I agree it is a hugely ambitious project. Megaprojects are within the scope of EA and its funders.
If most wild animal lives have negative wellbeing, I think this kind of intervention would be preferable to the status quo or extinction.
