<p>I'm having trouble with understanding:  尽一份责任  Possible answers:<br>
1. give the highest priority to all responsibilities<br>
2. maximise (wildlife protection)<br>
3. fulfill all the duties (of wildlife protection)<br>
4. meet all the demands (of wildlife protection)</p>

<p>I don't understand quite how they mean 尽一份责任 I think it is '尽 all the responsibilities', but then, what is '尽’here? Maybe 尽 is 'all' here? '尽一份’ is maybe 'each and every'?</p>

You can think of 尽 as maximize or exhaust [fulfill like @TangHo said below is good too].  一份 together with 尽 is always singular meaning: one's own. Your sentence has it's "who": 徐健和他的朋友 with 尽一份责任 - They want to live up to their responsibilities.

@Pedroski you got the gist of it, but it the original stresses more the point of doing ones responsibilities.

尽 in 尽责任 means 'try one's best to [fulfill](http://www.dictionary.com/browse/fulfill)'

'**尽**一份责任' means '**try** (their) **best to fulfill** (their) share of duty'

More examples of 尽 (v):

**尽**一分努力 (**devote all** effort one can summon )

**尽**人事 (**exhaust** one's ability)

**尽**心**尽**力 (**exhaust** one's wit and strength)
