Question

All the following are included under in-situ conservation except?

• A. Botanical garden
• B. Biosphere reserve
• C. National park
• D. Wildlife sanctuary

Answer 1

The correct option is A Botanical garden

Ex-situ conservation means off-site conservation. It is the process of protecting an endangered species of plant or animal outside of its natural habitat by removing part of the population from a threatened habitat and placing it in a new location, which may be a wild area or within the care of humans. Botanical gardens are ex situ conservation.

Thus the correct answer is option A.
