In-situ ('on site') conservation involves protecting species in their own natural habitat, allowing them to live and reproduce under natural conditions — examples include National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries and Biosphere Reserves. Ex-situ ('off site') conservation, by contrast, protects threatened species out …
