Pleistocene rewilding

Pleistocene rewilding is a way to help save endangered species. It is based on an idea that if you bring back some ancient mammals from the past (from the Pleistocene era, which was a long time ago) they can help the environment today. In other words, Pleistocene rewilding is like taking a step back in time and helping out some animals that have been gone for a long time. The goal of Pleistocene rewilding is to help restore nature to what it was like before humans started developing their cities and industries. To do this, scientists are looking at species that are closely related to extinct species that lived in the Pleistocene era, like the American lion, the wild horse, and the mastodon. They hope that by reintroducing these species, they can help balance out ecosystems and bring back habitats that have been lost.
