Zorluk: Çok zorBiodiversity Conservation Strategies: In-situ and Ex-situ

Match the biodiversity conservation mechanisms and repositories in List-I with their corresponding conservation framework and technical attributes in List-II:

  • Cryopreservation & Seed Storage BanksEx-situ conservation utilizing liquid nitrogen (−196∘C -196^\circ \text{C} ) or desiccated low-temperature conditions for long-term germplasm preservation.
  • Sacred Groves (e.g., Kavu / Orans)In-situ community-led preservation of climax flora and fauna driven by traditional cultural taboos and religious beliefs.
  • National Parks Core ZonesIn-situ statutory protection under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, offering highest legal protection with complete prohibition of forestry activities and human habitation.
  • Field Gene Banks & ArboretaEx-situ living collections of plant genetic resources, specifically maintained for species with recalcitrant seeds or vegetative propagation needs.

Cevap

Cryopreservation & Seed Storage Banks pairs with Ex-situ conservation utilizing liquid nitrogen (−196∘C -196^\circ \text{C} ); Sacred Groves pairs with In-situ community-led preservation; National Parks Core Zones pairs with In-situ statutory protection under the Wildlife Protection Act; Field Gene Banks & Arboreta pairs with Ex-situ living collections of plant genetic resources.
In-situ conservation protects species, populations, and ecosystems within their natural habitats (such as National Parks and Sacred Groves). Ex-situ conservation preserves components of biological diversity outside their natural habitats (such as Cryopreservation seed banks and Field Gene Banks).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Differentiate between in-situ (on-site natural habitat) and ex-situ (off-site artificial facility) strategies.
Identified National Parks and Sacred Groves as in-situ strategies, while Cryopreservation/Seed Banks and Field Gene Banks are ex-situ strategies.
In-situ conserves biodiversity within natural habitats, whereas ex-situ removes organisms or germplasm from their natural habitats to artificial repositories.
2
Analyze Cryopreservation & Seed Storage Banks.
Matches liquid nitrogen cryopreservation (−196∘C -196^\circ \text{C} ) off-site germplasm preservation.
Cryopreservation stores biological samples at sub-zero temperatures off-site to preserve viability indefinitely.
3
Analyze Sacred Groves.
Matches community-led preservation of natural vegetation based on cultural taboos.
Sacred groves protect patches of natural forest on-site using traditional community practices.
4
Analyze National Parks Core Zones and Field Gene Banks.
National Parks match highest statutory legal protection in-situ; Field Gene Banks match live ex-situ plant collections for recalcitrant seeds.
National parks maintain natural ecosystems under statutory acts, while field gene banks maintain live growing plants outside natural ranges.
