Dear all The Biodiversity Act is the centre piece of the legislative efforts to create a regulatory regime around biodiversity and associated traditional knowledge. Kanchi Kohli takes a critical look at one of the applications granted by the National Biodiversity Authority to collect blood samples and hair of the Indian Wild Ass. Notice the primary role of a state funded lab in making the application. http://www.indiatogether.org/cgi-bin/tools/pfriend.cgi She concludes that granting state regulatory control over biodiversity fails to ensure conservation or prevent the misappropriation of knowledge rights.
