This Instrument is a historic opportunity to repair ecological relationships harmed by centuries of biopiracy and cultural extermination created by colonialism. We affirm the necessity of peace & respect for human rights for the conservation of genetic resources and traditional knowledge. May this Treaty be rooted in compassion and respect.
