Cloning may be a quick fix to increase the number of individuals. However, numbers are not everything. What is more important to small population sizes is genetic diversity, in other words the amount of genetic variation that exists within a population. Populations with significant reduction in genetic diversity will have a drastically increased likelihood of producing offspring with a recessive genetic disorder (the same reason why inbreeding in humans will likely result in some problem with the child). Besides this, genetic diversity allows populations to adapt in the event of a strong environmental change (e.g. climate change). In other words, if the environment changes, diversity makes it likely at least some of the individuals are adapted to survive.

How does cloning help the world?
Cloning can help the world but it can do more damage too, when a living animal is cloned it receives the exact same genes as the donor so they will both be susceptible to the same defects and diseases, but cloning could make certain animals become less endangered for the time being but, do to the lack of biodiversity the animals could all get the same disease and have no immunity to it.
How do you prevent endangered animals and how could you help it?
1:what is the most endangered animals living in water?
What are the pros and cons of animal cloning?
Some pros of animal cloning are having more animals means having more food for people and it could help save endangered animals. Some cons of animal cloning are that the cloning process can be very expensive and there needs to be extensive research done to see if eating meat from cloned animals is safe.
Who helps endangered animals?

Is human cloning good?
Ban CloningYes, human cloning should be banned. In fact, all cloning should be banned. AnswerNo. All human cloning does is take one person's DNA and create a new person with that exact same DNA. It's just a new form of reproduction like in vitro fertilization.
How do you help animals that are going extinct?
