And I am not sure but my instinct says this is VERY worrying:

'Why is the Nagoya Protocol important?'

The Nagoya Protocol will create greater legal certainty and transparency for both providers and users of genetic resources by:

Establishing more predictable conditions for access to genetic resources.

Helping to ensure benefit-sharing when genetic resources leave the country providing the genetic resources

By helping to ensure benefit-sharing, the Nagoya Protocol creates incentives to conserve and sustainably USE (my emphasis) genetic resources, and therefore enhances the contribution of biodiversity to development and human well-being.'

Yes! That is what I have been thinking since a few months: whilst we all look at the WHO, other parties do what we do not want the Who to do.

Yes, the UN has been involved in this since 2010 with its 'Decade Of Biodiversity'.

They have been planning this for a long time; making viral material, us, nature, moldable objects suitable to their wishes and fiddle with all our genes and DNA.

'Data Sharing

By following the Nagoya Protocol, it is more likely that genetic resources will be inventoried and findable, and that the research products are trackable, so that there is visibility of the value and benefits of having and understanding biodiversity. Communities around the world are building infrastructure to facilitate the Nagoya Protocol, which means new technology and information systems are emerging, such as more user-friendly cross-referenced databases. The Protocol does not mean open data, but it means managed and trackable data products associated with genetic resources. The spirit of the Nagoya Protocol is to broaden capacity to access and utilize data, which serves to help advance the science that can help humans maintain biodiversity.'
