Abstract
The paper analyzes the conceptual and regulatory frameworks for genetic and biological resources, as well as the State's responsibility for protecting biodiversity. Through a combined conceptual and legal approach, the author examines both types of resources and presents a comprehensive study on the appropriation of associated knowledge and derived products. The analysis focuses on the contract for access to genetic resources as an environmental management tool. Employing a systematic documentary analysis methodology, the paper interprets specific regulations (internal, supranational, and international) and relevant technical information. This results in a comprehensive legal context for the appropriation of biological resources, associated knowledge, and products derived from genetic resources. The author concludes that challenges remain, including the ratification of the 2010 Nagoya Protocol and the need for improved capabilities, personnel, and infrastructure for resource management. Nevertheless, the contract for access to genetic resources offers a promising mechanism for contributing to effective global biodiversity conservation.
