    I'm pretty sure that in-sutu is where they are looked after in their natural environment where as ex situ is where they are looked after in captivity.

    Correct! Essentially.

    In-situ will be where the species involved will be left in its natural habitat, opposed to ex-situ will involve moving species to another location, "off-site conservation" for one reason or another, usually to participate in breeding programs or perhaps to remove or lessen the risks of hunting in their natural location.

    Hey,

    I'm doing it as a retake. I don't think it's that difficult. Just make sure you learn ALL your definitions. OCR love their definitions.
