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.

She concludes that granting state regulatory control over biodiversity
fails to ensure conservation or prevent the misappropriation of knowledge
rights.
