Would it be a good idea to bring back long-extinct animals if they could be given...

...the right environment? Let's say that science hypothetically finds a way to replicate complete gene sequences of any organism that has gone extinct, regardless of their age, and thus gain the power to bring back anything that has gone extinct.

Would it be a good idea to bring back the organisms that went extinct during the five biggest mass extinctions that have occured in prehistoric times, such as the Dinosaurs, but also create five different environments for the creatures that went extinct in each of those tragedies to live in, isolated from Earth's ecosystems, and thus undisturbed and undisturbing to modern life on Earth?

Also, the Earth is in fact going to be Terraformed in the future, which will create new environments on the planet and give the animals that were driven to extinction by the Humans another opportunity to live on the planet. Will this also give people the responsibility to also bring back the Pleistocene Megafauna, such as Woolly Mammoths, or were the circumstances of their extinction natural enough that it would be unnecessary for Humans to bring them back?
 
yeah, lets start bringing Back the triceratops and mastodons.... I bet that will really help things lol. Hey whiles were at it lets charge admission to see them in a park too.
 
i think if they found a way to completely isolate these extinct animals from our ecosystems (so they don't get disturbed) then it would be ok. learning about the past gives us a lot more answers about the future.
 
our populations would be harmful to them today. There isn't any right environment today for dinos and such because the air was pure back then.
 
When an animal becomes extinct it's because its environment no longer exists so it wouldn't work unless you're talking about animals that have recently become extinct from over hunting or something. Even then the niche has already likely been filled and competition would likely drive the species back into extinction.
 
I think we should focus on helping the endangered species of today. Humans may become an endangered species soon if we don't work on cleaning up the enviroment and having less of a negative impact on the habitats of animals.
