Step-by-step solution
Sacred groves are tracts of forest set aside due to religious and cultural traditions, representing an in-situ conservation strategy. Wildlife safari parks involve keeping animals in protected, enclosed environments outside their natural habitat, making them an ex-situ conservation method. Seed banks store seeds of different genetic strains of commercially important plants for long periods, which is an ex-situ conservation strategy. Biosphere reserves are large areas of natural habitat protected for the conservatio
