Yes.
A wide range of animals only exist because we include them in our food chain. Saving a few samples still reduces the bio diversity.
A wide range of plants only exist because they are useful for feeding the animals we include in our food chain. There is no reason to grow feed corn if there are no animals to feed it to.
