Answer

The approaches which are focused only on preserving the endangered species or preserving the ecosystem are not correct, as both the endangered species and the habitat are inseparable from each other.

Work Step by Step

The preservation of a particular species is not possible without preserving its ecosystem. This is observed in the case of endangered species like one-horned rhino. These rhinos cannot be preserved until their habitat is preserved. The approach in which the ecosystem is preserved is helpful in this case. At times, it is easier to raise funds and attract volunteers to save the endangered species as compared to saving a forest. Thus, both types of efforts are required in order to save the environment.
