This is the story of how I came to see Wild Animal Welfare (WAW) as a less promising cause than I did initially. I summarise three articles I wrote on WAW: ‘Why it’s difficult to find cost-effective WAW interventions we could do now’, ‘Lobbying governments to improve WAW’, and ‘WAW in the far future’. I then draw some more general conclusions. The articles assume some familiarity with WAW ideas. See here or here for an intro to WAW ideas.Original article:https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/saEQXBgzmDbob9GdH/why-i-no-longer-prioritize-wild-animal-welfareNarrated for the Effective Altruism Forum by TYPE III AUDIO.Share feedback on this narration.
