Any thoughts on Pleistocene Rewilding?

Pretty stupid, being that all of the modern animals you listed are endangered or critically endangered as it is.

Yeah, I think having elephants and cheetahs in North America is a bad idea but having wolves and yaks brought in somewhere like Siberia seems fine.

What are the chances they can successfully propagate in North America?
Maybe they would have a better chance of surviving there, where poaching is more strict, than in Africa.

I think it would be awesome, and we should definitely do it.

I think it's a pipe dream and in a lot of these instances I'm note even sure it'll lead to a return of a healthy ecosystem that resembled one of the past.

Which is to say that an ecosystem can be transformed, possibly irreversibly, without even having the extinction of a species. We've done it with overfishing of top-level ocean predators. Some of the top-level predatory fish have been supplanted by other species and it seems they may never regain their trophic dominance even after relaxing catches.
Now when you do take the extinction of a species into account they never just go alone. The presence of mammoths in ice age tundra also had a mutual reliance on certain vegetation. One can't just be brought back easily without the other.

Why not wait until we can revive the species with DNA magic?
