Apart from that, this is not a domesticated plant. It's an wild tree that served a keystone ecological function, and a lot of other species have been harmed by its demise.
No group of humans should get to "own" an endangered species and forbid saving it from extinction. Other species do not exist to be exploited by humanity. This is such a horribly selfish, destructive way to see the natural world.

They did a lot of what could almost be called terraforming. The best example I know of is the maintenance of oak savannahs in Oregon—partial deforestation to allow for grasses and game to flourish and be easily foraged/hunted.
