Q. No.The difference between ex situ and in situ conservation is:
| 1. | Ex situ conservation involves protecting an entire ecosystem in its natural habitat, while in situ conservation involves preserving genetic material in gene banks. |
| 2. | In situ conservation involves protecting an entire ecosystem and its inhabitants in their natural habitat, while ex situ conservation involves protecting species by removing part of the population from a threatened habitat and placing it in a new location. |
| 3. | In situ conservation involves protecting an entire ecosystem and its inhabitants in their natural habitat, while ex situ conservation involves protecting species by keeping them in locations such as zoos or botanical gardens. |
| 4. | Ex situ conservation involves protecting species in their natural habitat, while in situ conservation involves research on species in laboratories. |
