Woolly mammoths were a geoengineer species that have no living proxy. Bringing them back is definitely a controversial project, but there's a case to be made that de-extincting the woolly mammoth could help prevent permafrost from melting.

Of how many animals would we need genetic material from? are there enough dna available that it would be possible?

if all animals will be clones, genetic diversity will be a problem. hopefully there is enough material available. seeing mammoths die out in real time would be more heartbreaking
