Might as well put that effort towards halting the ongoing mass extinction of more animals, before worrying about bringing back facsimiles of the ones we've already eliminated

This is the "lump of labor" fallacy.

You can simultaneously prevent ongoing extinctions and work to undo past ones. The resources to do one likely are not transferrable to the other.

It's weird that people think we can't do two or even three things at the same time isn't it?
