      You know what? If I have to report every action of my life to you, I will have very little time to DO anything because I'll end up just reporting that I wrote my report to you.

And maybe no one else is required to tell you, random internet person, about every move they make in their work.

      The purpose of bringing mammoths according to science, is the reason Bisons were brought back. The millions of bison that roamed the prairies allowed the soil to compact and allow other species of plants to grow. Mammoths would perform a similar functions to bison in the tundras that would prevent greenhouse gases from escaping the permafrost and further deterioration of the tundra itself from sinking in compacting as herds the top soil.

We don't allow what's out there to live, we go in their habitat and expect them to leave us alone, that's unnatural, these are not trained puppies out there, they have their natural instincts taught to them by their parents and siblings.

      Bioethicists and geneticists have been discussing this for decades, mostly as a thought experiment. But, once the tech began advancing that makes it possible to bring them back, the impact of returning the Wooly Mammoth to existence has been debated to death. The Mammoth is one of the prime test animals in part because it's had a number of well-preserved specimens, but also because it hasn't been extinct for that long. 4,000 years is a drop in the bucket for evolutionary time scale.

    *Mammoths aren’t an invasive species.* They’re actually an important keystone species that died out due to over-hunting by humans.
    Mammoths are actually being brought back to restore an important ecosystem. This is us trying to fix what we broke.

      Some studies are now pointing to changes in climate as the main driver for mega fauna extinction. Makes more sense as there were not many ancient humans as a population. And there is only so much you can do with wood, fire and stone.

    To anyone who thinks that this will harm the environment or anyone drawing Jurassic Park comparisons. READ THIS…
    A huge misconception that many have is that Mammoths are prehistoric. They are not comparable to the resurrection of dinosaurs. Many people don’t know this, but Mammoths are actually missing from our CURRENT ecosystem. They only went extinct 10,000 years ago. They have been living alongside our wolves, cougars, bears, everything for millions of years. They are a missing piece of our ecosystem. Bringing back mammoths is habitat restoration
    If you still have doubts, we have done this before. An example in America is the reintroduction of Bison (buffalo). The Bison when reintroduced massively boosted the ecosystem. We saw a huge increase of the health of larger animal populations such as wolves, but not only that, the return of various fauna and flora to the area. The grass was healthier even
    Not to mention the economic benefits. Ecotourism would be thriving, as well as it would create a huge boost of interest and investment into bio research
    This is objectively a great thing
