Conservation Leaders
Now, more than ever, the world is experiencing a biodiversity crisis. With more than 40,000 species threatened with extinction, human efforts to protect wildlife both in situ and ex situ are needed to ensure these species exist for future generations.
Conserving Species in their Home Range
In Situ
Conservation efforts held in a species' home range is considered in situ.
The monitoring of wild species and preservation of their natural habitat by experts working in the field are examples of in situ conservation.
Conserving Species under Human Care
Ex Situ
Conservation efforts held under human care is considered ex situ.
The conservation programmes and research conducted by accredited zoos and aquariums are examples of ex situ conservation.
In situ and ex situ species conservation often work together toward developing strategies and conservation actions that will ensure the long-term sustainability of species at risk.
