Q.What do you understand from terms like in situ and ex situ conservation?

Step 1. Define in-situ conservation. In-situ ('in position/place') conservation means protecting a species (and its habitat) at the very location where it naturally occurs, without removing it — for example, a biodiversity park established to restore a self-sustaining natural community, or a community-protected sacred grove (devrai).

Step 2. Define ex-situ conservation. Ex-situ ('out of position/place') conservation means conserving a species away from its natural habitat, in an artificial or human-managed setting — for example, living plants maintained in a botanical garden, wild animals kept in a zoological park, or dried/preserved specimens kept in a herbarium or museum. …
