This category explores biodiversity conservation strategies, focusing on in situ methods like protected areas and ex situ methods such as captive breeding and seed banks.
Botanical gardens conserve threatened plants outside their natural habitats and are examples of ex situ conservation.

Sacred groves are protected forest patches that serve as refuges for rare, threatened, and endemic species.

Ex situ conservation protects threatened plants and animals outside their natural habitats through zoological parks, botanical gardens, seed banks, and similar methods.

In situ conservation protects species in their natural habitats through national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves.

Deforestation destroys natural habitats and contributes to biodiversity loss, whereas the other options are conservation approaches.

Biosphere reserves are examples of in situ conservation because species are protected in their natural habitats.
