What can Tiffi do about this?

Tiger Shark - Ah, now here’s an apex predator. Tiger sharks prey on basically anything they can get their jaws on, which means they control the populations of quite a variety of organisms. Fortunately, sharks will most often feed on the sickest and weakest of the marine population. Therefore, sharks improve the health of fish populations and prevent the spread of disease. Healthier fish are thus able to breed and produce more offspring. Tiger sharks also help maintain healthy sea grass beds by controlling populations of grazing animals. Sharks are friends, not fiends!

Sugar Maple Tree Plants and animals are obviously very different, but they can actually have similar mutualistic biological roles. The sugar maple tree, for example, has the ability to transfer water through its roots from moist soil to dryer areas, benefiting nearby plants. The canopy of this tree provides cover and habitat for many species of flora and fauna. Insects, which are important to enriching soil, rely on the canopy for preservation of moist soil conditions. Some insects will feed off the sap of sugar maple trees. Thus, these trees need to be protected! (And not just because their sap can be made into delicious treats…)’ (Source) 

Wow! Tiffi never even thought about endangered spices becoming extinct and how it can make an ecosystem disappear. Tiffi has to read up more on extinction. Time for a new Google search!
