A New Company With a Wild Mission: Bring Back the Woolly Mammoth - The New York Times
A team of scientists and entrepreneurs announced on Monday that they have started a new company to genetically resurrect the woolly mammoth.
The company, named Colossal, aims to place thousands of these magnificent beasts back on the Siberian tundra, thousands of years after they went extinct.

The article briefly touches on it but the idea is that these big fuckers stomping around the Siberian tundra will do something to prevent the quickly deteriorating permafrost. There's an interesting video from a few years ago of a massive crater of collapsed permafrost. Like the ground just falling apart. I'll see if I can find it. This shit is a total hail mary though.
I think this is it
Hey - they dream of serious money and great fame. And even in the wildest venture capitalist fantasy - a Mammoth Park with freaky gigantic, deformed hairy things that look like elephants juiced on steroids won't get them that.
