Areas like North America and (northern-temperate) Eurasia has almost no megafauna, contrary to the recent pleistocene. There is still no exact conclusion as to what wiped them out. Climate change and over-hunting are brought up frequently.

There are possibilities of populating these locations with elephants, large felines, etc. to fill the old niches of mammoths etc.

Do you think this is a good idea?

well, yes if they can replace the niggers and arabs.

lol

Don't niggers and Arabs dwell in urban centers? I suppose you can replace them with rhinos and lions there too. Is that preferable?

Anything is preferrable to them.
Especially animals, who can generate academic interest.

Reading Walden and then feeling we should rewild the world is just daft.

We should preserve some areas of wilderness and perhaps even expand or link up some existing areas.
I'm in favour of reintroducing extinct animals to Britain though, larger ones could be confined to such reserves or to larger islands.
