Definition
力保 is a formal verb meaning 'to strive to protect' or 'to do everything possible to ensure' something. It combines 力 (effort/force) with 保 (protect/guarantee), so the emphasis is on making a strong, determined effort to maintain a situation or prevent a loss. You'll often see it in news, sports, and business contexts — e.g., 力保冠军 (strive to keep the championship) or 力保安全 (do everything to ensure safety). It's more forceful than just 保护 or 保证.
