原有思路：
Whether it is worthwhile to make extraordinary efforts to save endangered animal or plant species depends on the position of the species in biologic chain and its cultural merit.
If a species is very important in biologic chain, which means its distinction will leads to other species’ distinction, extraordinary efforts should be made to save it. 如果该物种的灭绝会导致生物链受到极大影响，那么人类应该做大量努力拯救该物种，从而实现自然的可持续发展，避免该物种的灭绝引发更大的问题。举例：人类保护青蛙，从而保护青蛙吃虫，蛇吃青蛙这条食物链的完整性，避免蛇的灭绝，也避免虫灾以及庄稼欠收，从而避免饥荒。
If a species is not important in biologic chain but is of great importance in culture, it is also worthwhile to make efforts to protect it.这种有文化意义的动物是一个民族的文化图腾，对于一个民族有很大的文化价值以及精神意义。举例：中国的熊猫，澳大利亚的考拉，澳大利亚的渡渡鸟。
If a species is important neither in biologic chain nor culture, there is little justification for society to make extraordinary efforts to save it. 这种动物的灭绝对于自然界和人类社会影响不大，因此没有必要花很大成本去保护这个物种，此时应该遵从自然规律让该种动物自然灭绝。

讨论后思路：
Whether it is worthwhile to make extraordinary efforts—especially at a great cost in money and jobs— to save endangered animal or plant species depends on the species’ merit in culture, medical field and science.
If a species is of great importance in culture, it is also worthwhile to make efforts to protect it.原因：经济价值、文化价值、外交价值。举例：大熊猫、考拉
What is more, if a species has medical value, it ia also justifiable to cost a lot in money and jobs to save it.原因：经济价值，可能带来更大的经济效益，促进就业。举例：红豆杉
Finally, the value in science will lead to the protection of an endangered species.原因：无法确定其潜在价值。举例：梭罗、桃花水母。

感想：
注意题目中的money and jobs,注意论证为什么值得花这些成本
