Question

Which of the following is NOT an example of in-situ conservation strategy?

  1. Biosphere reserve
  2. Botenical garden
  3. National Park
  4. Sacred groves

Answer:

Option B: Botenical garden

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Botenical garden”.

Botanical garden is NOT an example of in-situ conservation strategy. In-situ conservation involves protecting species in their natural habitat.  

Biosphere reserves, National Parks, and Sacred groves are all examples of in-situ conservation, as they protect species in their natural environments.  

Botanical gardens are examples of ex-situ conservation, where species are conserved outside their natural habitat. They are artificial environments where plants are cultivated and preserved.
