Question

Which one of the following is not included under in situ conservation?

• A. National Park
• B. Wildlife Sanctuary
• C. Botanical Garden
• D. Biosphere Reserve

Answer 1

The correct option is C

In situ conservation involves the conservation of organisms in their natural habitats. A Botanical Garden is a man-made place where different species of plants are grown and conserved. These plants need not necessarily be endemic to the place and hence, it is an example of ex situ conservation.
