Lesson 21 of 30 in the free Environmental Studies notes on Siksha Sarovar, written by Rohit Jangra.

In-Situ Conservation (On-Site)

Protecting species in their natural habitat. "Save the forest to save the tiger."

  • National Parks: Most strict. No human activity (grazing/logging) allowed. (e.g., Jim Corbett, Kaziranga).
  • Wildlife Sanctuaries: Protection of a specific fauna. Limited human activity allowed. (e.g., Periyar).
  • Biosphere Reserves: Large multipurpose protected areas.
  • Core Zone: No human activity.
  • Buffer Zone: Tourism/Research allowed.
  • Transition Zone: Human settlements allowed.

Ex-Situ Conservation (Off-Site)

Protecting species outside their natural habitat. "Bring the tiger to the zoo."

  • Zoos & Botanical Gardens: For captive breeding and education.
  • Gene Banks / Seed Banks: Storing seeds at low temps (-196°C Cryopreservation) for future use.
  • Aquariums.
