✯I think the best course of action would be not to intervene. Even if you saw a non-endangered animal eating an endangered plant, in most cases isn't a good idea to intervene.
✯Even the most well-meaning conscious human intervention in environmental processes can have nasty effects. Thus, when there is any doubt about whether to intervene or not, and no human's well-being is involved, the best course is not to intervene - and that includes relatively trivial situations like this.
✯In any case, endangered animals are not the biggest threat to endangered plants and are not likely to wipe them out. If the population size of these endangered plants goes down, animals will have a hard time finding and eating them, giving the plants the chance to increase their populations or at least remain constant. The problem arises when some people cause destruction of entire ecosystems, killing off entire species at one fell swoop.
