Some important information

Let's Help them!!

We already talk about some concepts like endangered, biodiversity, mega diversity, and about some other information. Now it is moment to talk about the most common procedures to increase the number of member of endangered specie, later to be saved. Again, we have tried to write the less scientific language so anyone could understand.

Some procedures created to save some species endangered
Ex situ. It is the reproduction outside of the natural environment. Usually for specific situations where can not be known or effectively controlled those factors causing the danger of extinction. In these cases captivity serves as a life insurance against the extinction of the specie; besides it helps to preserve the genetic diversity. This procedure controls the changes in the genetic evolution, and sometimes those changes never become happen.

In situ. It is the reproduction of species in their natural environment, usually converted as natural reserved areas. In these cases the species keeps their natural evolution, and the genetic material also is preserved, along with its correspondent enrichment. This procedure helps to conserve the genetic diversity, and it is very respectful to all natural changes in the evolution.
