  3. C.Conserve only endangered species
  4. D.Conserve only extinct species

Correct Answer

(A) Protect and conserve the whole ecosystem

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (A) Protect and conserve the whole ecosystem. Solution: In situ (on site) conservation means protecting the entire ecosystem so that biodiversity at all levels is conserved - 'we save the entire forest to save the tiger.' It is not limited to only high-risk, endangered or extinct species; targeting individual threatened species off-site is the ex situ approach. NCERT: NCERT Class XII Biology, Ch 13 Biodiversity and Conservation, p.224, lines 22-24: "When we conserve and protect the whole ecosystem, its biodiversity at all levels is protected - we save the entire forest to save the tiger. This approach is called in situ (on site) conservation."
