"We have heard stories of important inventions that have resulted from studying the genes (the units of DNA by which information is passed from parent to offspring) of plants, animals and microbes. The Convention on Biological Diversity recognizes the importance of conserving genetic diversity and requires countries to have systems in place so that there is maximum benefit to the users and the providers of genetic resources, and the places where these organisms are found. The Nagoya Protocol was developed to help countries achieve the Convention's benefit-sharing goal. It aims to protect nature and ensure people can equally benefit from those important innovations that result from the study of genes"--Plain language summary.
