Abstract

These bioprospecting guidelines set rules governing the implementation of the Wildlife Act, and other relevant laws that will protect indigenous and local communities with regard to collection, use of biological and genetic resources including wildlife, microorganisms, domesticated or propagated species and exotic species, and equitable sharing from these resources.
