Now is the time

The last few weeks have seen a richer media coverage of the biopiracy problem.

But countries like the United States or Great-Britain - usually well-known for advocacy and human rights defence - are still surprisingly slow at picking up the trend.

As we are getting closer to the opening of the COP11 to be held in Hyderabad this coming October, we hope journalists and politicians such as MEP Catherine Grèze will be getting increased attention on the global debate around the use of genetic resources.

Grèze's commitment was shown last week when she co-organised with other Green MEPs the "Greens conference"entitled "Financing and biopiracy: the challenges of the next UN Biodiversity Summit (COP11, India)".
