What a marvelous idea resurrect animals that died out because they could not survive in the current state their environment. Species die out for a reason, and there really is no reason to bring any back. That applies for species that went extinct without human intervention. It would be beneficial to resurrect species that were made extinct by people. Like I said, it would be completely illogical to bring back a dinosaur, because it has little to no value besides putting it in a zoo to be gawked at. But if we bring back the woolly mammoth, it would turn the moss covered tundra back into fertile, productive steppes.

Human carelessness is still a reason to go extinct considering we are constantly changing environments. If species cannot handle the changes then they will disappear, but new one will take their place. Don't get me wrong I understand it is a terrible thing that humans destroy these creatures. However, I understand that it will most likely never change, so it is best to leave the dead as dead. But what about keystone species? If a top predator, like the tiger, goes extinct, then the whole ecosystem will fall into dissaray. This has been seen before. Prior to the reintroduction of wolves into yellowstone, the elk population grew too big. They ate all of the available vegetation, and they had no real predator. Sure, there were grizzly bears, but they only took some baby elk during the spring months. Then, after wolves were brought back in, the elk population balanced out, and the ecosystem was back to normal.
