Abstract

May and June were busy months for lobbyists and government delegations involved in the debates on accessing and controlling genetic resources. While the outcomes of the various international negotiations seem to have further shut down the options for positively influencing policy developments against the patenting of life and in favour of equitable rights regimes for genetic resources, the volume of opposition is getting louder. People all over the world are making it known that they will not stand by meekly and watch corporate greed privatise the resources that underpin their livelihoods. Important input for this article came from the Gaia Foundation, a London-based NGO.
