A New Company with a Wild Mission: Bring Back the Woolly Mammoth

Why mammoths?

Since we started measuring things scientifically, we have recorded literally hundreds of species that we wiped out...and there are probably many many more that we haven't measured.

These are species we know could exist in todays ecosystems (were it not for our recklessnes). Some of them had a valuable role in their environment that is sorely missed.

So, if we focused on bringing back extinct species, wouldn't it make more sense to start with one of them, instead of a giant mammal that has no natural habitat on todays earth, and went extinct long before we started to mess up the planet?
