Resurrecting the mammoth & science fiction
$10 million to resurrect the mammoth? It is better to concentrate conservation resources in attempting to limit current species extinctions than to engage in resurrectionist science that has almost no chance of success. There will not be a mammoth coming to a zoo near you soon.

I wouldn't worry about conservation funds being diverted, if a Mammoth could be created for $10 million - and I don't believe it is currently possible - there would be plenty of organizations willing to do it on a purely commercial basis. Imagine the money for TV rights + what a zoo woulkd pay to have one as an exhibit.
