If I'm understanding this right, this person is saying that, if evolution is true, the endangered animals would be "evolving" to better survive and wouldn't need our help.
I think that's what they mean.
No, we don't have to save ANY of those things. Unless you just happen to like Tom, anyway.
But since humans are the primary reason they're in danger of extinction, if we want to keep lions, tigers and elephants around, that's what we'll do.
Evolution hasn't stopped. We're just changing the world they live in far faster than they can keep up with. Lions, elephants and tigers have generation times measured in years or decades. Unlike bacteria, or even mice or small lizards, which have generations measured in days, weeks or months, a couple of hundred years isn't enough time for them to adjust. And we're VERY good at changing environments and accidentally wiping out other species.
Unless lions, tigers etc can evolve opposable thumbs so's they can use weapons against us, then...

Evolution was so successful at producing species that can thrive in hostile environments that it produced a species that can change it's environment instead of merely adapting to it.
The fact that human beings are destroying animal habitats to their own benefit is all too real evidence that evolution may work in fact work too well.
Confused?
