Biology disadvantaged piracy Local Residents

Piracy of local wisdom on nutritious plants by the pharmaceutical industry, proved to be detrimental to local residents. Now, an international agreement that seeks to profit from his patent divided local residents.
 
 Residents in Africa and Asia for hundreds of years have taken advantage of Catharanthus roseus or Tread Dara as nutritious plants for traditional medicine. Well known for a long time, Dara Tread nutritious plant drastic lowering of white blood cells, and is used to treat leukemia.

But since the last few years , parts of plants Tread Dara bekhasiat patented by the pharmaceutical industry and processed into a patent medicine sold at high prices in the market . Pharmaceutical companies that utilize local knowledge , related to the efficacy of Tread Dara plants or other plants , usually also cashing in large amounts .
For example, in 2000, the giant chemical companies of the United States , DuPont received a patent from the European patent office related to all kinds of corn oil contains a certain degree . Though the corn crop has existed in nature for thousands of years .
Situation that has triggered a number of environmental protection organizations accused pharmaceutical giant practicing piracy biological wealth . In addition Greenpeace also criticized the Mexican government 's grant of corn .
Protecting Local Wisdom
Ironically , when on the one hand and environmental protection organization exerts pressures of international aid , on the other hand many countries are actually harmed , be apathetic . This kondis trigger giant chemical company , the more daring and loot the wealth of local knowledge that has both scientific and economic value .
Now not only bekhasiat patented plant components , but also a variety of new varieties of fruits and vegetables from crosses or genetic engineering . The most widely criticized U.S. chemical company Monsanto .
" In addition, binding international agreements on the protection of biodiversity , such as the Nagoya Protocol, which was agreed in October 2010 , has yet to be fully implemented " , said Sven Hilbig organiasi aid of " Brot für die Welt . " . In the convention organized sharing of benefits from natural resources for the large population of people who traditionally since hundreds of years ago and used it as a medicinal plant .
Legality of War
The fight against piracy is indeed the biological wealth has listed some small success . For example, in March 1995 , two Indian researchers at the University of Mississippi USA gets patent for turmeric plant , which is typically used as a spice in Asian kitchen , as a wound healer .
Council of Science and Industrial Research in India reacted by filing a lawsuit to the U.S. patent office . They attach a millennia -old manuscripts in Sanskrit related to the use of turmeric as a cure wounds .
The U.S. patent office back then cancel the patent and other patents concerning turmeric as a medicine . It was a minor success in the war legality biological wealth .
However, in most cases , the war in the realm of law is not that easy . In the EU , for example , there are no uniform rules related to the biological wealth of 27 member states . Consequently Nagoya Protocol also difficult so far ratified in the EU .
So far, only 15 UN member states who have entered the Nagoya Protocol into its domestic legal system . To obtain the status of binding law , must be at least 50 members to ratify the United Nations
