4. CONSERVATION
Conservation is the protection, preservation,
management, or restoration of wildlife and natural
resources such as forests and water. Through the
conservation of biodiversity the survival of many
species and habitats which are threatened due to
human activities can be ensured. Other reasons for
conserving biodiversity include securing valuable
Natural Resources for future generations and
protecting the well being of eco-system functions.

6. In-situ conservation is on-site conservation or
the conservation of genetic resources in natural
populations of plant or animal species, such
as forest genetic resources in natural populations of
tree species. It is the process of protecting
an endangered plant or animal species in its
natural habitat, either by protecting or cleaning up
the habitat itself, or by defending the species
from predators. It is applied to conservation of
agricultural biodiversity in agro ecosystems by
farmers, especially those using unconventional
farming practices.
7. TYPES OF IN-SITUE CONSERVATION
BIOSPHERE RESERVES
NATIONAL PARKS
WILD LIFE SANCTUARIES
KAVU
8. 1.BIOSPHERE RESERVE
Biosphere reserves are areas of terrestrial and
coastal ecosystems promoting solutions to
reconcile the conservation of biodiversity with its
sustainable use. They are internationally
recognized, nominated by national governments
and remain under sovereign jurisdiction of the
states where they are located.
13. TRANSACTION ZONE
Several human activities can
occur in the manipulation zone.
Example: Settlements, cropping, forestry,
recreation etc.
14. 2.NATIONAL PARK
A national park is a reserve of
natural or semi-natural land, declared or
owned by a government, that is restricted
from most development and is set aside for
human recreation and environmental
protection.
Eg: Eravikulam national park and
silent valley.
18. 4.KAVU
Kavu is a traditional natural sacred space seen
near traditional homes in Kerala state of South India.
19. CONCLUSION
In-situe conservation is the conservation
of genatic resources in natural population of plant
or animal species.It is the process of protecting an
endangered plant or animal species in its natural
habitat.
