In situ Conservation

In situ conservation involves protecting and preserving species, plants, and ecosystems in their natural habitats. This approach maintains the natural environment where species have evolved and adapted over time, ensuring they continue to thrive and reproduce naturally. It includes practices like setting aside national parks, wildlife reserves, and nature reserves. By conserving species in their natural surroundings, in situ methods help maintain ecological balance, preserve biodiversity, and allow natural processes to occur, supporting the resilience and sustainability of ecosystems for future generations.
