Noting that the fundamental requirement for the conservation of biological diversity is the in situ conservation of ecosystems and natural habitats and the maintenance and recovery of viable populations of species in their natural surroundings;and noting further that ex situ measures preferably in the country of origin,also have an important role to play.Here“ex situ conservation(i.e.,conservation by relocation)”refers to the relocation of biodiversity components outside their natural environments for conservation.Each Party shall,to the extent possible and as appropriate,primarily to complement in situ conservation:take measures to relocate the biodiversity components for ex situ conservation,preferably in their countries of origin;establish and maintain facilities for ex situ conservation and research of plants,animals and micro-organisms,preferably in the countries of origin of the genetic resources;take measures to restore and rehabilitate endangered species and,where appropriate,reintroduce these species into their natural habitats;control and manage the collection of biological resources in natural habitats for ex situ conservation purposes in a manner that does not threaten ecosystems and native species communities...
