The main research question of this proposal, then, is: Is it morally permissible, or perhaps even required, to redesign natural processes in order to alleviate wild animal suffering? Apart from the objections that less ambitious forms of intervention also encounter, like the alleged intractability of naturogenic wild animal suffering (Delon & Purves 2018) or our lack of the knowledge and the means to do so (Johannsen 2020), nature reengineering faces some specific challenges. All of them should be addressed if we are to have a compelling answer to the research question presented above

因此，这一提议的主要研究问题是：为了减轻野生动物的痛苦而重新设计自然过程，在道德上是允许的，甚至是必须的吗？除了不太雄心勃勃的干预形式也遇到的反对意见，例如所谓的自然野生动物痛苦的棘手性（Delon & Purves 2018）或我们缺乏这样做的知识和手段（Johannsen 2020），自然再造面临着一些具体的挑战。如果我们要对上面提出的研究问题有一个令人信服的答案，所有这些问题都应该得到解决
