The problem here is, we don't have land for mammoths.

Mammoths need tundra steppes to live on subarctic grains, and they all converted to unproductive swampy tundra :(

There is a project to recreate tundra steppes tho: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene_Park

That's only a problem for getting them back into the wild.

I'd suspect cloned mammoths would be a zoo feature first.
