Summary
Scientists are attempting to bring back the woolly mammoth and other extinct species to help boost modern-day endangered species and fill voids in ecosystems that were left when certain species went extinct. Additionally, bringing back these animals may offer invaluable insight into evolution and help prevent the release of dangerous climate change accelerants into the atmosphere due to permafrost warming.
