In situ conservation refers to protecting an endangered species in its natural habitat. In situ approach includes protection of a group of ecosystems through a network of protected areas, such as biodiversity hotspots, national parks, sanctuaries, biosphere reserves and sacred groves and lakes.
Whereas Ex situ involves the conservation of genetic resources of species away from their area of origin or development. This includes off-site collection, Zoo, botanical garden, aquarium, gene banks conservation and In vitro preservation includes tissue culture and cryopreservation.
