When Tim Ferriss interviewed Stewart Brand on this [1], it sounded like the intention was to introduce them to the far north which is both closer to their natural habitat, and far away from people. Sounds in-line with the article here.
Relevant snippet from Brand:
> Eventually, the rest of that story is that woolly mammoths could be part of the revival of what used to be called the Mammoth Steppe, which is the grasslands of the far north, which was once the largest biome on Earth … what [Mammoths] are good at is knocking down trees. Knocking down trees is good because it turns a closed-canopy forest into mosaic, and a mosaic is a much richer ecological environment for all kinds of species.
