Question

Taxonomical aids are helping hands of taxonomy, and two of them function for ex- situ conservation strategy, these are?
A) Botanical garden and herbarium
B) Zoological parks and museum
C) Zoological parks and botanical gardens
D) Museums and botanical gardens

Answer 1

Conservation is a method of careful protection of different plant and animal species from getting extinct so that proper biological diversity is maintained in the environment. The most adverse effects to species are caused by human interference and thus conservation strategies have gained importance.

Complete answer:
In order to protect these species two different conservation methods are being carried out. They are- in-situ conservation and ex-situ conservation. In-situ conservation refers to conservation of biological species in their natural habitat whereas ex-situ conservation refers to the conservation of the endangered species outside its natural habitat by relocating it to a new area. In-situ conservation areas include national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, biosphere reserves whereas ex-situ conservation involves botanical gardens, zoological parks, sperm and egg banks, genebanks, tissue culture, seed banks. There are certain advantages of ex-situ conservation like the endangered species can be completely protected from predators, their population can be controlled effectively and their health conditions can also be controlled effectively.
So the correct option is (C) Zoological parks and botanical gardens.

Note: So in today's world where industrialization is happening at a massive extent, leading to usage of great areas of land which are losing their normal vegetation and also the animals living there conservation strategies are of utmost importance otherwise it will lead to the extinction of the particular species.
