Biopiracy is the appropriation of plants and seeds from biodiversity \u2013 rich countries. It is also the stealing of knowledge about these plants. It is undertaken by pharmaceutical, cosmetics and agro-business firms who obtain patents, having copied the techniques of an Amazonian shaman, an Indian small farmer or a South African healer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biopiracy raises questions that link into a number of the 21st century\u2019s crucial issues. Amongst others, it has been seen a form of neo-colonialism, the commercialisation of life or one of liberalism\u2019s most worrying trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is time to act. Around the world initiatives are emerging that refuse biopiracy and encourage projects that are respectful of peoples\u2019 rights and those of the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a collective work prepared along with our international partners. It is a guide containing information helping those who wish to resist this new form of injustice to get actively involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":35548,"template":"","categories":[34,41],"class_list":["post-35546","publications","type-publications","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-biopiracy","category-vivant-communs-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
