Conservation Types

The document discusses the two main types of conservation: in-situ conservation, which protects plants and animals within their natural habitats as depicted in the pictures, and ex-situ conservation which protects species outside their natural habitats in facilities like gene banks, zoos, and botanical gardens. It also defines key conservation organizations like IUCN and WWF and identifies the Western Ghats as an ecological hotspot and sacred grooves as practicing in-situ conservation through protection of nature within its natural setting.
