                 CONSERVATIONS 

Conservation, broadly defined, is the act of carefully protecting and preserving resources, whether natural or cultural, for their long-term value and benefit. It involves using resources sustainably, managing them wisely, and preventing their overuse or destruction. 

TYPES OF CONSERVATIONS:-

In-situ Conservation:-

Definition:-

In-situ conservation aims to protect species and their habitats within their natural ecosystems. 

METHODS:-

This involves establishing protected areas like national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves. 

Examples:-

Protecting forests to conserve tigers, or managing specific species populations within a larger ecosystem. 

Ex-situ Conservation:-

Definition:-

Ex-situ conservation involves conserving species outside their natural habitats, such as in zoos, botanical gardens, or seed banks. 

Methods:-

This includes captive breeding programs, seed and gene banks, and relocating animals to suitable habitats. 

Examples:-

Zoos that breed endangered species, or seed banks that store seeds for rare or endangered plants.
