The correct answer is: Protect and conserve the whole ecosystem

In the in situ conservation, the protection of an organism will automatically take place, since the natural habitat of the organisms is protected in this sort of conservation. For example, announcing Kanha forest as a tiger reserve. It is nothing but conservation ‘at home’. This helps in conserving biodiversity hotspots. India has three of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, Western ghats, Indo Burma and Eastern-Himalayas.
