A wealth of technical resources and practical tools exist that inform
and guide the development and implementation of in situ
conservation and recovery measures as referenced in section
7.1.7. Rather than replicating these resources, this section aims
to illustrate through a series of resonant case studies the vital
contributions by botanic gardens to in situ conservation and
recovery efforts. While numerous terms at various levels of
complexity for different recovery approaches are in use in the
conservation community, this section employs 1) population
reinforcement, 2) population reintroduction, 3) ecological
restoration and 4) population introduction to exemplify this work.
