In case of an endangered species wild seeds (and plants) must remain in the wild. It could be possible (if allowed by law or by a special permit) to take a few seeds, obtain some plants from them, then distribute seeds from such cultivated plants providing the original locality data (so as to make a reintroduction possible, if ever necessary). Ex-situ conservation is also important (if well done), but a continuous wild collection is surely to avoid.
