In-situ and ex-situ conversation both try to save the biodiversity but by different methods. They both have their advantages and limitations.

Explanation:

• In-situ conservation is done by creating an out-like environment for animals and plants, so as to keep them under close supervision and gain more knowledge about their behaviour and reactions.
• However, in this method, animals suffer a lot more than ex-situ and are prone to danger by humans.
