→ When we conserve and protect the whole ecosystem, its biodiversity at all levels is protected - we save the entire forest to save the tiger.
→ This approach is called in situ (on site) conservation.
→ However, when there are situations where an animal or plant is endangered or threatened (organisms facing a very high risk of extinction.
→ in the wild in the near future) and need urgent measures to save it from extinction, ex situ (off site) conservation is the desirable approach.
