EU debates biopiracy law to protect indigenous people
|
1.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Pharmaceutical firms would need to compensate indigenous people for using their knowhow in creating new medicines
The European parliament is debating a draft biopiracy law requiring industry to compensate indigenous people if it makes commercial use of local knowledge such as plant-based medicines.
Under the law – based on the international convention on access to biodiversity, the Nagoya protocol – the pharmaceuticals industry would need the written consent of local or indigenous people before exploring their region's genetic resources or making use of their traditional knowhow.
Relevant authorities would have the power to sanction companies that fail to comply, protecting local interests from the predatory attitude of big European companies.

The draft report on access to genetic resources by Green MEP Sandrine Bélier cites as an example a German pharmaceutical company's dealings in South Africa.

US businessman defends controversial test
|
19.10.2012 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Russ George says he has been under a 'dark cloud of vilification' following his ocean fertilisation test off Canada's Pacific coast
The American businessman who dumped around 100 tonnes of iron sulphate into the Pacific Ocean has become a lone defender of his project, after a storm of criticism from indigenous peoples, the Canadian government and a UN biodiversity meeting in India.
Russ George, who told the Globe and Mail that he is the world's leading "champion" of geoengineering, says he has been under a "dark cloud of vilification" since the Guardian broke news of an ocean fertilisation scheme, funded by an indigenous village on the Haida Gwaii islands, that aimed to make money in offset markets by sequestering carbon through artificial plankton blooms.
"I'm not a rich, scheming businessman, right," he said . "That's not who I am … This is my heart's work, not my hip pocket work, right?"
A US agency that loaned George's company 20 expensive ocean gliders said they had been ... |

Billions needed to slow loss, report warns
|
16.10.2012 |
Guardian: Environment |
| UN study says the amounts needed are insignificant compared with the costs of allowing the destruction to continue
Hundreds of billions of pounds will need to be spent on preserving the world's biodiversity, if the destruction of habitats, species and natural resources is to be slowed, a new report for the United Nations has found .
But the amounts needed are insignificant compared with the costs of allowing the destruction to continue, according to the study. These costs include water scarcity, declining agricultural productivity, climate change and the exhaustion of fish stocks. Taken together, the perils of our destruction of biodiversity represent one of the most serious threats to the world's future, so actions taken now to tackle these threats will pay off, in the both the short and the long term, it said.
Pavan Sukhdev, the economist who was chief author of the report, said: "While there are some big numbers in this report [in terms of the money that must be spent], our panel ... |
