The 24 pages that link to Ex situ conservation, each with the reason it gives.

• Captive breedingNarrower topic: Captive breeding is a common tool within conservation conducted outside the wild.

• Biodiversity conservationCompared with: It safeguards organisms or genetic material away from the ecosystems in need of protection.

• Amphibian conservationCompared with: It can guard against immediate extinction but cannot replace functioning wild habitat.

• Crop wild relativesCompared with: Stored samples safeguard wild-relative diversity when habitats are threatened or populations decline.

• Marine mammal conservationCompared with: Marine mammal conservation usually prioritizes protecting animals and ecological processes in the wild.

• Assisted migrationCompared with: It preserves organisms under managed conditions instead of releasing them into new wild locations.

• OrchidaceaeRelated: Collections can preserve orchid material when wild populations are threatened.

• Reintroduction biologyCompared with: Captive or cultivated populations can supply releases, but their conservation remains outside the wild.

• ZooNarrower topic: Zoos are one form of conservation conducted outside natural habitats.

• Wildlife translocationCompared with: Translocation aims to establish or support animals in the wild rather than maintain them outside it.

• Plant conservationNarrower topic: It provides safeguards when protecting plants in their habitats is not enough.

• GeoconservationCompared with: It can protect vulnerable specimens while separating them from their geological context.

• GermplasmNarrower topic: Germplasm storage is a form of conservation away from natural populations.

• Sumatran rhinocerosCompared with: It complements habitat protection when wild populations are too small to recover unaided.

• Chinese alligatorRelated: Captive populations provide a safeguard while wild habitat remains restricted.

• London ZooRelated: London Zoo’s conservation work includes protecting wildlife beyond its native habitats.

• ArboretumRelated: Cultivated collections can preserve threatened tree species beyond their native habitats.

• WildlifeCompared with: It safeguards species away from the habitats where wildlife normally lives.

• Bush dogRelated: Captive populations support husbandry research and potential conservation breeding.

• Nymphaea thermarumRelated: Botanical gardens maintain living plants after the wild population disappeared.

• Schönbrunn ZooRelated: Schönbrunn’s breeding programs preserve animals outside the wild while conservation work continues in habitats.

• ZingiberRelated: Botanical gardens and collections can safeguard Zingiber species that are difficult to conserve in the wild.

• Hesperocyparis macrocarpaRelated: Cultivated collections can preserve genetic material beyond the species’ limited wild groves.

• Poecilotheria metallicaRelated: Captive populations can support conservation, but cannot replace protection of its native forest.
