This chapter looks into ex situ conservation. It acknowledges that in situ conservation techniques might be needed if a successful ex situ conservation programme, which is termed reintroduction, is achieved. The chapter explores the subdivisions of ex situ conservation: intensive or general captive breeding programmes and gene banks.

This chapter focuses on ex situ (off-site) conservation, which is the protection and management of biodiversity in artificial, human-built environments. Indeed, ex situ conservation allows wild-caught individuals to be maintained under close human supervision in facilities like zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, or arboretums.

The Future of Ex Situ Conservation
2000It is with great trepidation that we attempt in this final chapter to address what we believe may be the major issues that Ex Situ conservationists will be forced to confront and attempt to resolve in the next ten to fifty years, let alone the whole of the new millennium.

In Situ and Ex Situ Conservation of Chinese Plants
2020In total, 28,385 higher plants were distributed in the nature reserves, accounting for 77.0% of the total number of higher plants in China. Among them, there are 3842 species which are effectively protected; 2478 species are better protected. More than 84.4% endangered species grow in national and/or provincial natural reserves.

The science and economics of ex situ plant conservation
Trends in Plant Science, 2009Ex situ seed storage underpins global agriculture and food supplies and enables the conservation of thousands of wild species of plants within national and international facilities. As an insurance policy against extinction, ex situ seed conservation is estimated to cost as little as 1% of in situ conservation.

Conservation: in situ and ex situ contributions
2002Komodo dragons, with their large size, predatory nature, and septic saliva, are unique animals that arouse public attention. In situ, they provide an opportunity for ecotourism development and can facilitate fundraising for creating and maintaining protected areas.

Captive breeding and ex situ conservation
2013Abstract Primates began the arduous journey out of their native countries and into captive collections in the late nineteenth century. However, their survival was severely limited by a lack of natural history knowledge and husbandry requirements. In the decades to follow, primate survivorship and propagation in zoos greatly increased. By

Preparing To Collect for Ex Situ Conservation
2000A conservation project will most commonly be commissioned by an institute or organisation and will usually take the form of a statement. It will outline the objectives, breadth of the target taxon and target area to be investigated, as well as outlining any specific requirements, such as whether the conservation should focus on in situ or Ex Situ ...

Ex Situ Conservation of Grain Legumes
2001The major food legumes that originated in the Mediterranean and that are important in this region include chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), lentil (Lens culinaris L.), and faba bean (Viciafaba L.). Lentil is an ancient cool-season field legume that has been traditionally grown in the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, Ethiopia, North Africa, and to a ...

Ex Situ Conservation of Forage Legumes
2001This chapter analyses progress and the current status of ex situ conservation of 739 species of 27 genera of forage legumes in relation to their natural distribution. Analysis is based on passport data of individual accessions. As such, the scope of the chapter is restricted to those collections for which the authors have been granted access to ...
