that disappeared because of humans and restoring ecosystems are possible ones

Yeah, 10,000 years ago. Is it really restoring when the ecosystem has been functioning for such a long period without it? Wouldn't it sooner disrupt it?

There are a lot of species that we made disappear in the last 150 years that could be beneficial to restoring current ecosystems.

Totally, but the dire wolf is not one of them

They do plan on using the tech for those applications though.

The "dire wolf" is just a media strategy to show off their technologies.
