In situ conservation is the preservation of species and populations of living organisms in a natural state in the habitat where they naturally occur. ... This method maintains the genetic diversity extant in the population in a manner that makes samples of the preserved material readily available.

Answer 2

Answer:

There are two basic conservation strategies, each composed of various techniques, that the conservationist can adopt to conserve genetic diversity once it has been located. The two strategies are ex situ and in situ conservation. Article 2 of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD, 1992) provides the following definition of these categories:

Ex situ conservation means the conservation of components of biological diversity outside their natural habitats.

In situ conservation means the conservation of ecosystems and natural habitats and the maintenance and recovery of viable populations of species in their natural surroundings and, in the case of domesticates or cultivated species, in the surroundings where they have developed their distinctive properties.

There is an obvious fundamental difference between these two strategies: ex situ conservation involves the sampling, transfer, and storage of target taxa from the target area, whereas in situ conservation involves the designation, management, and monitoring of target taxa where they are encountered. Because of this fundamental difference, there is little overlap between the two strategies.
