It’s called a cascade extinction event. With each endangered species their ecosystem is affected, leading to more becoming endangered. Eventually a threshold will be passed where human intervention won’t be enough to save them from extinction.
Yes and no, the humans doing the “saving” and the ones doing the “killing” are different groups. So it’s still technically a save but only as far as different humans have different interests. The culpability is still as a whole on us as a species.

It’s unfair for humans to claim “saving” creatures from what humans have done to their respective ecosystems to begin with.
It’s like setting a nursing home on fire and randomly helping 2 residents out as you leave. You didn’t save 2 people, you murdered 198 instead of 200.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you. Didn’t know the word for this.
