Ex Situ Conservation: Captive Breeding and Seed Banks
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Ex situ conservation preserves species or genetic material outside their natural habitat, through methods including captive breeding and seed banks, typically supplementing in situ protection.
Show
A seed bank stores genetic diversity from wild plants independent of what happens to those populations' habitat.
Watch for
Ex situ conservation preserves material or individuals, but reintroducing a captive-bred population still requires suitable habitat to return to.
