In your opinion, which is the most effective way to conserve the plant diversity of an area ?

  1. By creating botanical garden
  2. By creating biosphere reserve
  3. By tissue culture method
  4. By developing seed bank

Answer

(2) By creating biosphere reserve

Solution

As per NCERT, when we conserve and protect the whole ecosystem, its biodiversity at all levels is protected (in situ conservation).

⇒ A biosphere reserve protects the plants in their natural habitat along with the other organisms and interactions of the area.

⇒ Botanical gardens, tissue culture and seed banks are ex situ methods that save only selected species / germplasm.

∴ Creating a biosphere reserve is the most effective way.
