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.
