bring 'em back and plop them in the preserves.
i wish that i could recall where i saw it, but the hurdles to make/recreate mammoths are (wait for it....) mammoth. : -)
its one thing to collect the DNA for ID purposes, but the big one is assembling a functional cell from repaired DNA. plus elephants grow so darn slowly. its a project for the centuries.-

Even the preserves need to be patrolled and protected by men carrying machine guns, poachers go into those reserves.

that show must have been on discovery channel or something like that, I remember seeing it too, but it was awhile ago Can't remember how many generations it would take to have the DNA closest to a mammoth, it wasn't first generation, not even 2nd I don't think..but who knows, science always coming up with stuff.........-

yeah. they have to back cross the 'elephant' out to leave just mammoth. a couple generations, but that means they'd also need a breeding population of individuals to start with. elephants take- what?- twenty years to get to breeding age? that or bring on the clones.
