The Commercial Use of Biodiversity: Access to Genetic Resources and Benefit Sharing
Biodiversity and the genetic material it contains are now recognised as being among the world s most valuable resources. Access to genetic resources and their commercial development involve a wide range of parties. Equitable partnerships are not only crucial to conservation and economic development, but are also in the interests of business and often required by law. In this book, the authors explain the provisions of the Convention on Biological Diversity on access and benefit-sharing, the effect of national laws to implement these, and aspects of typical contracts for the transfer of materials.
