This form of conservation includes zoos, botanical gardens, seed banks, pollen storage, tissue culture, genetic engineering. In situ is the conservation of living resources through their maintenance within the natural ecosystems, in which, they occur. In situ conservation includes a comprehensive system of protected areas such as the National parks, sanctuaries, natural reserves, biosphere reserves and several others.
