Betteridge's law.

In this case, while it might be possible to reproduce a member of an extinct species, if the conditions which cause the die-off of that species are unchanged then the species will still be extinct. The living individual would be a curiosity at best.

Not only that but would so few specimens be a minimum viable population? This would be a pretty large number of individuals to attempt true rewilding.
