Two methods which are practiced to protect threatened or rare species are:

(i) In situ conservation: It is the conservation of endangered plant or animal species in its natural habitat, either by protecting the habitat itself, or by defending the species from predators. Examples : Hotspots, National parks, sanctuaries, biosphere reserves, etc.

(ii) Ex situ conservation: It is the conservation of selected rare plants or animals in places outside their natural homes. Examples : Offsite collections, gene banks, botanical gardens, zoological parks, etc
