Question

In which of the following both pairs have the correct combination?
A. In situ conservation: Seed Bank Ex-situ conservation: National Park
B. In situ conservation: Tissue culture
Ex-situ conservation: Sacred groves
C. In situ conservation: National Park
Ex-situ conservation: Botanical Garden
D. In situ conservation: Cryopreservation
Ex-situ conservation: Wildlife Sanctuary

Answer 1

Hint: The process of protecting an endangered plant or animal species in its natural habitat is commonly known as in situ conservation. Ex-situ conservation has defined the relocation of endangered or rare species from their natural habitats to the protected areas equipped for their protection and preservation.

Complete answer:Conservation is the safeguarding, preservation, management, or restoration of the wildlife and natural resources such as forests and water. Through the conservation of biodiversity, the survival of many species and habitats which are threatened due to human activities can be secured. In-situ conservation is explained as the conservation of species in their natural habitats and is considered as the most appropriate way of safeguarding biodiversity. Conserving the areas where the populations of species exist naturally is a basic condition for the conservation of biodiversity, such as National park. Ex-situ conservation is explained as the preservation of components of biological diversity outside their natural habitats. This involves conservation of genetic resources, as well as wild and cultivated species, and draws on a diverse body of techniques and facilities, e.g., Botanical garden.
So, the option C is correct

Note: In situ conservation is the maintenance of live populations of animals in their adaptive environment or as close to it as is practically possible. Ex-situ conservation is the technique of conservation of all levels of biological diversity outside their natural habitats through different techniques like zoo, captive breeding, aquarium, and botanical garden.
