Common mistakes in Ex-situ conservation and global agreements
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.
- Confusing a biodiversity agreement with an unrelated environmental or genetic principle.
- Classifies habitat-level protection as ex-situ conservation.
- Assumes biodiversity conservation is purely local and unaffected by international activity.
- Uses the presence of the same species to classify both conservation actions as the same method.
