conservation

conservation

actively maintaingn biodirversity of the habiitat

preservation

maintain the same conditios of habitiat in current state

insitu

maintain biodiversity in natural envrionment

exsitu

conservation outside the habitat like zoos

CITES (73)

• international

• prohibit trade of endangered animal products

• cant move or sell animals, animal parts or products

• monitor/provide permits of trade in non endangered

rio convention of biodiversity (92)

• international

• 150 countries

• promotin sustainable development

• protect biodivesrity

• shared access to scientific knowledge/genetic resources/techno

countryside/environmental stewardship scheme

• payed subsdiraries to landowners

• plant hedgerows=wildlife corridors

• crop rotation=legumes

• miniaml pesticides

• leave buffer zone between hedge and field

• variety of breeds and types of plants

• includes rare breeds=resilitant agriculcutre

• give opportunity to access for public and eductation

advantages of exsitu

• protection from predatation and poaching

• genetic diversity can be measured

• IVF=increases chances of reproduction success

• organisms can be bred to increases no of endangered species

limitations of exsitu

• organisms live outside of natural habitat

• expensive to maintain suitable environmental conditions

• animals exposed to a wide rnage of diseases

• captive population likey ot have limited genetic divesity

advantages of seed banks and botanical gardens

• most plants are R strategists=a lot of offpspring

• collect without dirupting the population

• collecting and storing is cheaper

• easy to clone/ tissue culture

• seed easy to store=dormant

• decrease temp and humidity

disadvantages of seedbanks and botnaical gardens

• disruption of the habitat from wild collecting

• much harder to get funding or public support

• low genetic diversity=not resisliatn

• regular germinaition tests to check viability
