In which of the following both pairs have correct combination ?

  1. In situ conservation : Cryopreservation Ex situ conservation : Wildlife Sanctuary
  2. In situ conservation : Tissue culture Ex situ conservation : Sacred groves
  3. In situ conservation : National Park Ex situ conservation : Botanical Garden
  4. In situ conservation : Seed Bank Ex situ conservation : National Park

Answer

(3) In situ conservation : National Park Ex situ conservation : Botanical Garden

Solution

As per NCERT, in in situ (on site) conservation the whole ecosystem is protected in its natural habitat, e.g., biodiversity hotspots, biosphere reserves, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and sacred groves.

⇒ In ex situ (off site) conservation threatened species are taken out of their natural habitat and protected in special settings, e.g., zoological parks, botanical gardens, wildlife safari parks, seed banks, cryopreservation and tissue culture.

∴ National Park (in situ) and Botanical Garden (ex situ) is the correct combination.

Answer: (3)
