Botany - Biodiversity and its Conservation Question with Solution | TestHub

The two methods employed for biodiversity conservation are - In-situ conservation and Ex-situ conservation. When in order to conserve a particular species the entire ecosystem which forms its habitat Is conserved it is known as in-situ conservation. Conservation of species outside its natural habitat is called ex-situ conservation. Species which are found localized in a specific area are known as endemic species. These endemic species are confined to that particular region and not found anywhere else. Biodiversity hotspots are created in order to protect such species showing high degree of endemism.
