MCHH 458: Conservation - the difference between in situ and ex situ conservation

Dr Scarlett Smash & Dr Craken MacCraic talk about the difference between in situ (in the wild) and ex situ (in zoos and aquariums) conservation. They talk about  examples where ex situ conservation has been sucessful for saving several species from extinction, but they also about its limitations and some of the failures.
