Scientists want to recreate Pleistocene ecosystem with Woolly Mammoths

I wrote time ago about finding of preserved mammoth carcasses and then there were talks for de-extinction of the species, but time passed and there were not much practical progress, but I still look around for updates and news on the topic.

Today this article looks again into the issue of the cloning of extinct animals and attempt to recreate the Pleistocene ecosystem with Woolly Mammoths included.
