“This is an alarming sign that the EPO is violating the intention of the legislator to prevent #patents on plants and plant material used in conventional breeding. Furthermore, the patent shows that company activities also include #biopiracy.”—Johanna Eckhardt of @NoPatentsOnSeed

Nature isn’t a commodity. Sharing life and wisdom isn’t theft — it’s liberation from borders and corporate greed. #Biopiracy is just the name capitalism invented to turn nature into property.
Intellectual Property isn’t “protection”—it’s a tool of economic control. Time to dismantle neocolonial systems. 🌍✊ #Neocolonialism #Biopiracy #GlobalJustice #AfricaRising

In Digital Genetic Data, An Uncertainty Over Ownership
https://t.co/F1wnyYASQC
[...]
But these data still come from organisms, and these organisms come from somewhere. Add politics and policies to the equation, and questions around the use of DSI become a volatile mix. The question is not: Who owns life? The Biodiversity Convention, a U.N. treaty, resolved that, landing on the agreement that countries own genetic resources that are found within their borders. Rather, the question over DSI concerns the fine line between use and misuse: How should humanity share the world’s genetic data, keeping resources accessible while also ensuring a fair share from any profit? Some refer to the search for new and useful products in nature as bioprospecting. Others see a more parasitic framework, and contend that profiting off biodiversity without paying back royalties is a form of theft, like stealing precious resources without paying the locals a dime. There’s even a pejorative term for it: biopiracy.
Regardless of these varying perspectives, one thing is clear: The existing legal framework was not designed for the digital age. [...]

Today, I received "WIPO GRATK Treaty Notification No. 1" 🥹😍 Malawi is the first country to ratify the new @WIPO #GRATK Treaty against #patent-based #biopiracy. Thank you 🇲🇼!
Industrial agriculture, including massive use of pesticides, chemical fertilisers, deforestation, and #biopiracy is one of the key drivers of #biodiversity loss. A video from @AJEnglish explores this and why struggles for food sovereignty are so important.

#COP16's major failure to establish binding regulations on benefit-sharing setback allows continued exploitation of genetic resources without fair compensation. #DSI will fuel #biopiracy! Needed stronger safeguards for biodiversity, equitable benefit-sharing. @Afsafrica @ISFAAKE
“You’re just creating a voluntary fund that promotes biopiracy”.
While many celebrate #COP16's outcome, Nithin Ramakrishnan is more critical. The Multilateral Mechanism on DSI should have created binding & fair obligations on benefit-sharing.

#OPINION: The global summit on #biodiversity must tackle the issue of #biopiracy head on and ban any exploitation of resources unless local communities are involved completely in the process and the profits of commercial ventures, Ranvir S. Nayar. https://t.co/jjP0uKmgCG
