please explain in-situ and ex-situ in short 

IN-SITU: "On site" conservation technique. Here the endangered species are protected in their own habitat. It is a simple example of Endemism (organisms found in a particular area and nowhere else). Here the habitat as well as the organism is protected. Eg: Hotspots.

EX-SITU:  "Off site" conservation technique. Here the endangered species are taken out of their natural habitat and placed in protected and special places. Eg: Zoological Parks.

Hope this answer helped!! :)
