Scientists Clone First Deer

U.S. researchers said Monday they had carried out the first successful cloning of a white-tailed deer in a "breakthrough" that could be instrumental in conserving endangered deer species.

I would love to see cloning technology advance to the point that we could easily save the many endangered species on the planet. Perhaps it would give us time to make the needed adjustments so that we're no longer destroying their habitats. Unfortunately, cloning is still not perfect. There are still some questions about the health of cloned animals later in life.
