From a research proposal:
Par ailleurs, cet axe permet de porter un troisième type de regard sur la question de l’expérience morale en n’interrogeant plus seulement la nature sauvage comme lieu d’une expérience morale ou encore la morale animale comme possibilité expérimentale, ainsi que c’était le cas dans le premier axe. Il permet également de proposer comme *** horizon***, la question des limites souhaitables de l’expérimentation sur la nature humaine.

Definition of "ambit" in English:
The scope, extent, or bounds of something:
a full discussion of this complex issue was beyond the ambit of one book
Definition of "scope":
"The extent of the area or subject matter that something deals with or to which it is relevant:
we widened the scope of our investigation
such questions go beyond the scope of this book"
In any case, I think you're going to have to rework the sentence to get something that's English.

to focus on
or "to propose as new focus", perhaps. Literal translation would be a non-starter here. There are three "axes" (focuses/approaches). The third approach is being introduced as a novel one, with a new focus.
