Solution


Q.

In-situ conservation refers to                  [2022]
1 protect and conserve the whole ecosystem  
2 conserve only high risk species  
3 conserve only endangered species  
4 conserve only extinct species  

Ans.

(1)

When we conserve and protect the whole ecosystem, its biodiversity at all levels is protected - we save the entire forest to save the tiger. This approach is called in situ (on site) conservation. However, when there are situations where an animal or plant is endangered or threatened (organisms facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future) and needs urgent measures to save it from extinction, ex situ (off site) conservation is the desirable approach.
