Common mistakes in In-situ conservation in India
Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.
- Thinking conservation of a species is independent of its habitat and interactions.
- Focuses on isolated captive organisms when the programme protects the entire habitat.
- Treats biodiversity conservation as preservation of isolated individuals only.
- Classifies conservation by species rarity rather than location of protection.
