Which one of the following is not a site for in-situ method of conversion of flora ?

Biodiversity conservation is categorized into in-situ and ex-situ methods. In-situ conservation involves protecting species within their natural habitats, allowing them to evolve and interact within their ecosystems [4]. Examples of in-situ sites include Biosphere Reserves, National Parks, and Wildlife Sanctuaries [3]. These areas preserve the entire ecosystem, including flora and fauna, in their original environment [5]. Conversely, ex-situ conservation involves the preservation of biological diversity outside their natural habitats in man-made environments [3]. Botanical gardens are a primary example of ex-situ conservation, as they involve the cultivation and maintenance of plant species in controlled, artificial settings rather than their original wild locations [3]. Therefore, while Biosphere Reserves, National Parks, and Wildlife Sanctuaries are in-situ sites, a Botanical Garden is an ex-situ site.
