In the following, in each set, a conservation approach and an example of a method of conservation are given: (a) In situ conservation — Biosphere Reserve (b) Ex situ conservation — Wildlife Safari Park (c) In situ conservation — Seed bank (d) Ex situ conservation — National park Select the correctly matched sets:
(a) and (c)
(a) and (d)
(b) and (d)
(a) and (b)
, in situ conservation involves protecting endangered species within their natural habitat, which includes biosphere reserves, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and sacred groves . Ex situ conservation involves moving threatened organisms to special settings where they can be protected, such as zoological parks, botanical gardens, wildlife safari parks, and seed banks . Consequently, set (a) is correctly matched as an in situ method and set (b) is correctly matched as an ex situ method . Set (c) is incorrect because seed banks are an ex situ approach, and set (d) is incorrect because national parks are an in situ approach .
