IIRC the problem that drove them extinct was a virus that left them with tumors on their faces that eventually left them unable to eat or drink.

This would mean that bringing the species back would mean you would either have to cure the virus or make them naturally resistant.

It is something like the problem with the American Chestnut. They have solved the fungus problem but can not get permission to plant the tree outside of laboratory conditions because it is genetically modified.

The naturally resistant trees do not pass their resistance along to their offspring so planting from surviving trees does not work.
