Genetic resources (Biodiversity 🦗)
Genetic resources are genetic material of actual or potential value, where genetic material means any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity. Genetic resources is one of the three levels of biodiversity defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity in Rio, 1992.

It will be interesting to see whether the New Australian Parliament will contemplate the implementation of the WIPO Treaty of Intellectual Property, Genetic Resources and Associated Traditional Knowledge
Foreign Affairs Minister Senator Penny Wong made a memorable speech about the Treaty last year: 'Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have been innovators, inventors and knowledge-holders for over 65,000 years.
All across this land, the vibrant history of Australia's First Nations peoples tells the story of an ancient culture that continues today.
Whether it is firestick farming used to sustainably manage Country, or the engineering of great stone fish traps across rivers and seas.
Whether it was the practices of cultivating crops over tens of thousands of years, or the discovery and use of potent natural medicines.
That unbroken line of innovation has continued to this day, despite what was wrought by the fiction of terra nullius.
The traditional knowledge of Australia's First Peoples transformed this land.
Made it liveable, made it home.
That knowledge deserves international recognition.
This treaty does just that.'

Introducing myself using hashtags. I teach and research on #intellectualproperty rights, mostly #patents. I am interested in use and circulation of #geneticresources and have worked on the #BBNJ Agreement #NagoyaProtocol and #ABS mechanisms. #VaccineEquity and #pharmapatents remain a preoccupation as is #IP across the #lawanddevelopment divide. I enjoy #teaching on the #LLB and #LLM.
