The resurrection of the woolly mammoth may seem like a strange and pointless endeavor for scientists. However, the main goal of this project is to protect our planet.
Scientists believe that the return of mammoths to the expanses of Siberia could contribute to the restoration of the ancient ecosystem, which, in turn, would help slow down the melting of permafrost and climate change.
Moreover, gene editing technologies could also assist modern elephant species, which are increasingly facing various threats to their existence.
