Why 'biopiracy' was a big talking point at COP 16 - BBC World Service

COP 16 — the United Nations Biodiversity Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity — recently concluded in Colombia. One of the major issues was "biopiracy". Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM That’s when companies take out patents to own the rights to living organisms, like plants — despite the fact many local and indigenous communities may have been using these plants and other biological material for centuries. BBC science and climate reporter Georgina Rannard explains the idea of biopiracy and why it’s so high stakes for both businesses and the communities that nurture traditional knowledge. And Nataly Canales, an evolutionary biologist, discusses how the issue of biopiracy relates to the autonomy of her community — the Amazonian Quechua of Peru.
