Abstract

In Rio de Janeiro, in order to preserve biodiversity a virtuous circle was set up in 1992: The sustainable use of biodiversity (genetic resources) will generate benefits which will then be used to preserve biodiversity. The Nagoya Protocol elaborated in 2010 was designed to bring clarification and allow the practical implementation of this virtuous circle of access and benefit sharing. The scope was clarified: research on genetic and biochemical content of plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms. Since many countries have now implemented access rules, it is important for academic and industrial users of biological resources to be fully aware of the regulations and to respect them.
