Step-by-step solution
Cryopreservation is an advanced ex-situ conservation technique where gametes of threatened species are preserved in viable and fertile conditions at very low temperatures ( -196^ C in liquid nitrogen). Sacred groves are tracts of forest set aside for in-situ protection, often associated with religious and cultural traditions. Biodiversity hotspots are regions identified for maximum in-situ conservation due to their high levels of species richness and high degree of endemism. Zoological parks are ex-situ conservatio
