Ecotasia's video: How You Save a Species out in the Wild The In-situ conservation of the Palila

I felt it was about time I talk about the conservation of species in the wild, in situ conservation. In the past I have talked about the importance of Zoos and ex situ conservation in the protection of specie. I actually have worked both in situ and ex situ conservation projects and even where they intersect in the release of captive bred animals into the wild so this is pretty exciting for me and I guess gives me some actual authority to speak in this video. So how are in situ and Ex situ conservation different? And what unique challenges come up when doing conservation out in the wild? The Palila is one of the world's rarest birds, and ensuring such a rare bird survives in the wild is a difficult but important task requiring many In-situ conservation strategies. So let's explore an area specially protected to preserve the Palila and discuss the basics of in-situ conservation. Sources 1.

Welcome to Ecotasia! On this channel you can find wildlife footage and short documentaries on the natural world. I am an early career biologist who was inspired by the likes of the BBC Natural History unit, PBS, and Animal Planet as a child and then more recently by various nature YouTube channels to share my love for animals and nature. My goal is to document and highlight the interesting ecology and behavior of organisms I encounter, as well as cover and elucidate conservation and biological topics.
