Gracelyn Skinner · Answer 1

As this procedure is carried out in the natural habitats of this species, this is an in-situ conservation.

In-situ conservation is the type of conservation that occurs on site, where the natural populations of plants or animals are found.

Cordell Acevedo · Answer 2

The assisted reproduction method is used to broaden the gene pool of the lemurs. As this procedure is carried out in the natural habitats of these species, it is known as ex-situ conservation.
