Abstract:

Abstract The rapid advancement of biotechnology in the late 20th century promoted bioprospecting in Antarctica and has been a regular topic of discussion in the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) since 2002. However, there still needs to be an explicit regulatory framework in the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS). Meanwhile, the Convention on Biological Diversity and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) posed competitive governance mandates on regulating bioprospecting in the Antarctic Treaty Area and challenging the legitimacy of ATS. China’s increasing Antarctic presence is also reflected in its bioprospecting activities. However, its enthusiasm for bioprospecting remains inconsistent with its approach towards the ATS through reluctant contribution on regulation. This article will analyze the discussions on bioprospecting in the ATCM as contained within the ACTM meeting documents. Then, this article will analyze how China should actively pursue legitimate bioprospecting interests in the Antarctic from three aspects, which include improving domestic laws and regulations on access to genetic resources and benefit-sharing activities, speedy enactment of Antarctic legislation, and leading the establishment of regulations on Antarctic bioprospecting in the ATCM. It concludes with an outlook on bioprospecting regulation and China’s role in future prospects.

Abstract:

This paper aims to explore the concepts and values of Maqasid al-shariah in bioprospecting. The activities of bioprospecting are not new and have been well established in various industries ranging from pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing to biomining and nanotechnology. Bioprospecting is the discovery of biodiversity for new biological resources of social and economic value. Although the premises of bioprospecting are known to be closely tied to sustainability and conservation of biodiversity, to the best of our knowledge, there are no discussions on bioprospecting from the perspective of Maqasid. This paper explores this relationship with a focus on agarwood, a non-timber forest product (NTFP) that has been traded for centuries. Over the years, agarwood has been subjected to bioprospecting and is increasingly being used as a material in the development of halalan toyyiban products.

Abstract:

A dynamic economic model for a biodiversity prospecting contract, between a host country and a pharmaceutical company, is developed and used to explain the structure of existing contracts. The host country's stocks of biodiversity and genetic information are crucial inputs to the production of high-quality samples. Even with compete property rights contracts will be second best; it is not possible to perfectly monitor host-country inputs to the drug discovery process. Contracts vary due to the different degrees of observability of host-country inputs, and incomplete or ineffective property rights.

Abstract:

Abstract Bioprospecting is occurring in the Arctic and Antarctica. This paper considers evidence on the nature and scale of bioprospecting in the Polar Regions. The paper then aims to draw out some of the critical issues in this debate by examining recent developments in the context of the Antarctic Treaty System. After an introduction to the history of the debate on bioprospecting in the Antarctic context it examines the recent Report of the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (‘ATCM’) Intersessional Contact Group to examine the issue of Biologocal Prospecting in the Antarctic Treaty Area tabled at ATCM XVII in Kiev in June 2008. The paper then concludes with some brief thoughts on the relevance of the Arctic experience to the debate in relation to Antarctica and whether or not there is an ‘Arctic Model’ for a response to the bioprospecting question in Antarctica. It is argued that rather than there being one Arctic model there is in fact a spectrum of models and experiences to choose from.

Abstract:

The article focuses on the commoditisation and appropriation of indigenous bioresources and knowledge under bioprospecting, as facilitated by the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). TRIPS has not only broadened the scope for patenting, including patenting of life forms, but also threatened to appropriate and not acknowledge contributions of indigenous communities. There is an asymmetrical economic and legal relationship between communities in the global South and corporates in the global North mediated by a host of institutions, including the states, with their own agendas. The promise of the patenting system is spurring the race for collecting bioresources and knowledge through bioprospecting agreements. As databases of plants used by indigenous communities are established, biological parks are created to sequester regions rich in genetic resources and profits are disproportionately distributed, bioprospecting agreements appear to have heralded a new kind of expropriation. The article critically analyses the ramifications of bioprospecting and subsequent patenting on indigenous community ownership rights over bioresources and knowledge. It also examines indigenous resistance; how communities have asserted their rights to culture as a property against corporate interventions.

Abstract:

South Africa is particularly rich in biodiversity. This biodiversity may be utilised and has commercial potential. Bioprospecting is the systematic evaluation of biodiversity by making use of advanced technologies in search of and development of commercially, valuable new products. The international Convention on Biodiversity and the national Biodiversity Act accentuate the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity and set certain prerequisites for bioprospecting and the research concerned with it. Research with indigenous biological resources is also affected by this legislation. Almost every university in South Africa is involved in bioprospecting projects and/or research with indigenous biological resources. A short overview of the origin of the Biodiversity Act is given. Research management and researchers are hereby informed of the current legal implications of the Biodiversity Act on research at universities.

Abstract:

Istraživanja predstavljena u ovom preglednom radu doprinose poznavanju isparljivih organskih spojeva iz morskih organizama, posebno iz makroalgi Jadranskog mora. Za izolaciju isparljivih spojeva iz svježih i/ili na zraku osušenih uzoraka primijenjene su komplementarne metode: mikroekstrakcija vršnih para na čvrstoj fazi (HS-SPME) i/ili hidrodestilacija (HD). Dobiveni izolati analizirani su vezanim sustavom plinske kromatografije-spektrometrije masa (GC-MS). U vršnim parama i isparljivim uljima makroalgi Halopteris filicina, Flabellia petiolata, Dictyota dichotoma, Taonia atomaria, Padina pavonica, Codium bursa i morskoj cvjetnici Posidonia oceanica pronađeno je mnoštvo različitih spojeva, uglavnom seskviterpena, diterpena i alifatskih spojeva. Alifatski spojevi male molekulske mase, poput dimetil-sulfida (DMS), tribrommetana, 1-jodpentana, 3-metilbut-2-enala, heksanala i pent-1-en-3-ona, nađeni su u kemijskim profilima vršnih para. Također su identificirani i alifatski C8- i C11-spojevi (npr. oktan-l-ol, oktanal, okt-1-en-3-ol, 6-metilhept-5-en-2-on, fukoseraten i diktioptereni). Zajedno s višim acikličkim ugljikovodicima, također pronađenim u vršnim parama (npr. heptadekan), u ispitivanim isparljivim uljima identificirani su i viši alifatski alkoholi (npr. (Z)-oktadec-9-en-1-ol, heksadekan-1-ol, (Z,Z)-oktadeka-3,13-dien-1-ol) i esteri (npr. diizooktil-ftalat, dibutil-ftalat). Fenilpropanski derivati (npr. benzaldehid, benzil-alkohol) i C13-norizporenoidi (npr. α-jonon i β-jonon) također su pronađeni u isparljivim profilima, kao i mnoštvo seskviterpena (npr. germakren D, biciklogermakren, δ-kadinen, epizonaren, epibicikloseskvifelandren, β-kubeben, gleenol, (E)-β-farnezen). Isparljivi organski spojevi identificirani u morskim algama mogu poslužiti u kemotaksonomskim istraživanjima.

Abstract:

This paper aims to elucidate the important economic and political aspects of an extremely complex policy issue involving biological prospecting (bioprospecting) in Antarctica. In addressing this rapidly growing global industry, which searches for commercially valuable biological and genetic resources in a world of biological diversity, it becomes obvious that a critical interface exists between Antarctica and the intertwined bioprospecting policies brought forth during recent decades by two treaties, the Convention on Biological Diversity and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The analytical framework of the paper builds upon the economic concept of public goods within a political framework of international treaties and law. The concept of a national public good, associated with the sovereignty of a state (nation) over its biological and genetic resources, is the basis of such policy under the Biological Diversity Treaty. In practice, this jurisdiction applies both to the land area of a state and to the exclusive economic zone of a coastal state. The Law of the Sea Treaty, on the other hand, provides both a national public good connotation to exclusive economic zones while creating a global public good connotation for deep seabed mineral resources, with a related potential application to bioprospecting in the deep seabed. While the Antarctic Treaty System possesses several institutions that could be adapted to a bioprospecting policy regime, no such regime has been established up to the present. The paper concludes with a consideration of the critical question: is bioprospecting in Antarctica a national or global public good? While logic would appear to lead one toward the ‘global’ answer, multinational economic and political realities in today's world suggest that either a national public good approach, or a largely unregulated open access approach, is more likely to prevail.

Abstract:

This article examines the law governing bioprospecting in the high seas and subsequent use of biological material. Seen in relation to the on-going debate on a new legal regime for marine areas beyond national jurisdiction, the authors explore the degree to which existing rights and obligations under the law of the sea and patent law could coincide with one of the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity, namely that of promoting benefit sharing. The activity of bioprospecting is examined in light of the different freedoms of the high seas, making the point that different interpretations give different indications of existing provisions on benefit sharing. In particular, the regime for marine scientific research under the law of the sea exemplifies different ways for sharing benefits, all of which run up against implementation challenges when seen in relation to rights awarded by patents to inventions resulting from bioprospecting.

Abstract:

Bioprospecting is a search for new or better bioproducts from biological sources preferably from novel biodiversity. Molecules derived from natural products, particularly those produced by plants and microorganisms, have an excellent record of providing novel chemical structures for development as new pharmaceuticals. Bacteria living under stress are best sources for bioprospecting and also these organisms are least explored. This paper focuses on the bioprospecting and biotechnological potential of bacteria isolated from the Polar Regions. In this context, let us have a glance through the major cold adaptations of psychrophiles and their application potentials with special reference to psychrophilic enzymes. Our lab focus on identifying the biofilm inhibitors against bacterial pathogens and novel molecules of medical importance from bacteria and actinomycetes isolated from Arctic, the North Pole. We are also interested in profiling the diversity, multidrug resistance pattern and the molecular mechanisms involved in bacteria isolated from the pristine environment.

Abstract:

Traditional knowledge management (TKM) or indigenous knowledge management (IKM) is essential in preserving traditional knowledge through resource and biodiversity management along with bioprospecting putative medicinal plants deemed to have medicinal uses and benefits for knowledge literacy and product development. This study was documented to determine the significance of seminar-workshops on scientific researches in preserving and updating traditional knowledge through bioprospecting thus, strengthening traditional knowledge. Forty-four (44) STEM students and three (3) Science teachers from Mamasapano National High School participated in the seminar-workshop on scientific research trends and techniques. Post evaluation test was administered to assess the response of the students vis-à-vis the significance of seminar-workshops in strengthening traditional knowledge through bioprospecting. Results revealed that all students strongly agreed that the conduct of seminar-workshops is essential in safeguarding traditional knowledge which is nowadays at stake due to modernization. Results further implied the need to conduct more seminar-workshops across the region especially in the indigenous and local communities to preserve the traditional knowledge and to foster inclusive and sustainable education.

Abstract:

AbstractThe innovative concept of the common heritage of mankind is embodied in the 1982 LOSC for the seabed beyond the limits of national jurisdiction (the Area). It has been subsequently adapted to meet further political and economic realities. Despite the present uncertain situation, the mandate of the International Seabed Authority (ISBA) is already broader than it is commonly believed. The legal condition of the space (the Area), its being the common heritage of mankind, may have an effect also on matters and activities that (though different from minerals and mining activities) are located in that space. While bioprospecting is not specifically regulated by the UNCLOS, there is an inextricable factual link between the protection of the deep seabed environment (including its biodiversity), marine scientific research and bioprospecting. the ISBA, the principles that it represents, as well as its existing competences and responsibilities, need to be taken into consideration when States decide to fill the legal gap of bioprospecting. The role of the ISBA could be expanded in the future to meet new objectives under commonly agreed cooperative schemes.

Abstract:

Este artigo visa fornecer uma visão global da atividade científica ibero-americana (América Latina + Espanha e Portugal) em bioprospecção, através de indicadores bibliométricos unidimensionais a partir de documentos científicos indexados na base de dados multidisciplinar Science Citation Index (SCI). Por se tratar de uma área de pesquisa interdisciplinar, a bioprospecção é um objeto de estudo particularmente interessante para análise bibliométrica e pode ilustrar procedimentos metodológicos inovadores. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a despeito da existência de 7 países megadiversos nesta região geopolítica, a atividade científica em bioprospecção se encontra bastante concentrada no Brasil e na Espanha, refletindo, de certo modo, a fragilidade acadêmica dos outros países da região. Isso indica a necessidade de discutir e formular políticas claras, eficientes e sustentáveis dirigidas à bioprospecção, incluindo a administração da biodiversidade. AbstractThis article provides a picture of scientific activity in bioprospecting in the Ibero-American geo-political region (Latin America + Spain + Portugal), on the basis of information collected in the Science Citation Index database. Bioprospecting is a particularly interesting field for bibliometric analysis because it is interdisciplinary and requires the development of innovative methodological procedures. The findings reveal that despite the presence of 7 mega-diverse countries in the region, Brazil and Spain concentrate most of the scientific production. This probably indicates the academic weakness in bioprospecting of the other Latin American countries. The results point out to the need of the countries in the region to discuss and design policy instruments to foster local capabilities in research of bioprospecting activities, including the management of their biodiversity resources.
