In this research, we discuss balancing two essential ecosystem services, known as resilience and yield, in a harvested two predators one prey system. We study how these two ecosystem services respond to different types of harvesting plans applied to the system. In individual harvesting, we observe that prey harvesting is suitable for generating more yield while either predator harvesting gives more resilience. Several patterns are possible based on the intensity of harvesting efforts applied to prey or the predator in simultaneous harvesting. This study shows that a balanced harvest between prey and predators may give more than the selective harvesting of any species yielding and stabilizing the ecosystem. Even if this fair strategy is not a cooperative situation for both resilience and yield, it may be the most favorable approach to scale those services. Finally, we may state that it would help us correlate the safest position (corresponds to the maximizing resilience yield) and the good views (which corresponds to the maximum sustainable return) to safeguard our ecosystems.
