The process of protecting an endangered plants and animals species into its natural habitat is known as in situ conservation. It involves the creation of protected areas such as national parks, nature parks, biosphere reserves, wetlands protection zones, SPZ(Special Protection Zones) SCZ(Special Conservation Zones) etc.
Ex situ conservation is the technique of conservation of all levels of biological diversity outside their natural habitat through different techniques like zoo, captive breeding aquarium, botanical garden and gene bank.
