Research and Development on Genetic Resources - Bog

This is one of the first books to address research cooperation and facilitated access for non-commercial biodiversity research. It uniquely offers concrete and practicable solutions based on experiences of researchers and administrative officials with Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS), and on the interpretation of the Nagoya Protocol on how free and lively taxonomic research can be ensured while at the same time observing obligations of obtaining prior informed consent and sharing of benefits.With foreword from Executive Secretary CBD, Braulio Ferreira de Souza Dias.
