Which one of the following is an example of ex-situ conservation?

Tropical regions show greatest level of species richness because A. Tropical latitudes have remained relatively undisturbed for millions of years, hence more time was available for species diversification. B. Tropical environments are more seasonal. C. More solar energy is available in tropics. D. Constant environments promote niche specialization. E. Tropical environments are constant and predictable. Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

The regions with high level of species richness, high degree of endemism and a loss of $70 \%$ of the species and habitat are identified as:

The type of conservation in which the threatened species are taken out from their natural habitat and placed in special setting where they can be protected and given special care is called
