INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION

The urgent need to ensure the conservation of biological diversity is now widely recognised, but the role of an intellectual property rights regime as an instrument for biodiversity conservation is poorly understood and often hotly debated.

The arguments are presented using the case study of the use. | Intellectual property rights and biodiversity conservation an interdisciplinary analysis of the values of medicinal plants Edited by Timothy M.
