Created by StemPy LabThe best way to save a species is to save the place where it lives. This lesson explains in situ conservation: the biodiversity hotspots, the national parks, the sanctuaries, the biosphere reserves and the sacred groves, with the figures that NCERT gives for India.
When a species cannot survive in the wild, we keep it outside its habitat. This lesson explains ex situ conservation with zoos, botanical gardens, seed banks and cryopreservation, and the IUCN Red List, with its categories from Extinct to Least Concern.
Biodiversity does not stop at a border, so the efforts to save it are international. This lesson gives the agreements that NCERT names and then revises the whole chapter, with a list of the traps: which method goes with which example, and which category with which meaning.
