It is much simpler for humans to change their ways such as stopping the rapid deforestation and encroaching in animal habitats and using of fossil fuels and polluting of the rivers with refuse from excesses of consumerism than it is to try and reintroduce this species when they go extinct because even the chances of man mimicking millions of years of creation are very slim at best.
