Explanation

In Ex-situ conservation, threatened species are actually move on to special preservation from their natural habitat. Gene bank is an institute that keep group of feasible seeds, live developing plants, tissue cultivation and chilled germplasm having maximum genetic variability. Hot spot is a region with high endemism and  rich in level of species. In-situ conservation threatened species are conserved in their natural habitat in order to conserve the entire ecosystem. Offsite collection is the collection of known wild and domestic species from zoological park, safari, wild life and  botanical garden.
