      <br>
      I completely agree with you and the Smithsonian established very
      advanced ABS guidelines and standards. I did not understand that
      the White House policy memo wants to dictate policies, but raise
      awareness in the light of forthcoming ABS issues that collections
      need to solve.<br>
      <br>
      ABS will also cover soil samples or drill cores, any sub-fossil
      remains, water samples, etc. All this contains genetic resources.
      And I am not sure if the scope (and consequences out of this e.g.
      for climate research) is clear to politicians &amp; policy makers.<br>

      All the best<br>

            memo calls on all US government departments and agencies to
            have policies in the specified areas related to scientific
            collections.&nbsp; It does not dictate what these policies will
            be, only that they be must established and made available.&nbsp;
            Second, &#8216;scientific collections&#8217; as treated by the White
            House policy memo cover a great range of collection types,
            of which biodiversity collections is only one.&nbsp; There are
            other UN Conventions that could impact other types of
            collections (WHO for biomedical samples, for instance) and
            none of them are mentioned in the policy memo.&nbsp; It will be
            up to each department and agency to develop policies that
            reflect US treaty obligations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

            But yes, <u>1993</u> is crucial and an issue,&nbsp; since most
            countries (including the US) ratified the CBD and (in
            juridical terms) the Nagoya Protocol is - and must be

            <br>
            Don't want to go into details of retroactivity and "new

            big deal of legal uncertainty ahead and large job

                  I agree with you entirely. The effect of Nagoya will
                  be contrary to the original purpose of the CBD. Lofty
                  goals (in my opinion) get mangled in implementation,
                  much as has been the case with CITES and, in the U.S.,
                  ESA foreign listings.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  There is a time lag at work here. CBD occurred in
                  2000. Prior to 2008, money was flowing freely. Easy
                  credit, lots of cash in the system...for context,
                  remember that in 2002, the five-year plan to double
                  the budget of the National Institutes of Health had
                  just been completed and there was a plan to double the
                  budget of the National Science Foundation over the
                  next five years.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  Governments are no longer willing or able to provide
                  sufficient funding, not that funding was ever ample.
                  But did anyone predict that things would become this
                  dire?
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  So here we are in a situation where natural history
                  collections are starving for basic operating funds.
                  Smaller collections are closing and even some of the
                  most important collections are lacking curators or
                  collections managers or adequate number of staff.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  Where do you get funding if not from government
                  sources? Well, of course some have endowments and if
                  you are lucky enough to be in the U.S., where the
                  stock market has rebounded, the endowments are
                  generating a decent amount of funding. At the moment.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  So that leaves private sector. Which can loosely be
                  divided into two categories - rich people (and
                  corporations,which in the U.S., are people) who can be
                  persuaded to make donations and private industry who
                  are interested in the properties and genetic basis of
                  those properties of the materials in the collections.
                  If you have to make a deal with "the devil" as
                  corporations are painted - just to keep the doors open
                  and the lights on and the collection functioning and
                  accessible - then isn't that the lesser of the two
                  evils? <br>
                  <br>
                  We've been here before:<br>

                  <br>
                  And I won't go into details, but ornithologists in the
                  U.S. (and Canada, Mexico, and Japan) can attest to the
                  way that the noble goal to protect birds has led to a
                  system that - for scientific research - is often
                  implemented in a manner that actually does nothing at
                  all to protect wild birds. <br>
                  <br>
                  Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.
                  <br>
                  <br>
                  I personally found this section of the White House
                  memo to be most amusing:<br>
                  <br>
                  <i>Clearly describe how the agency will apply its
                    scientific collections policy as a term and
                    <br>
                    condition, as appropriate, of providing funding for
                    the acquisition and stewardship of
                    <br>
                    scientific collections that are being managed by a
                    third party or that the agency does not
                    <br>
                    own, but supports or for which it has oversight
                    responsibilities. </i><br>
                  <br>
                  Yes, there are occasional little dribbles of funding
                  from one agency or another for specific projects, but
                  even in the best of times, did any federal agency
                  support basic stewardship costs for the collections
                  managed by third parties (the museum community)?

                    <i>"making collections more accessible to [...]
                      researchers, including non-Federal scientists, to
                      maximize public benefit"</i>, establishment of a
                    clearing house and cooperation with the Smithsonian
                    (that established already voluntary ABS-guidelines)
                    directs between the lines towards "making
                    collections available for applied research and
                    product development".
                    <br>
                    <br>
                    While national governments of some industrialised
                    countries aim to push collections towards
                    commercialisation, Natural History Collections have
                    been identified as potential loophole in the ABS
                    system and some NGOs accused collections for
                    biopiracy if cooperating too close with industry.
                    Non-commercial benefits and capacity building are
                    widely ignored among policy makers, and shortcoming
                    for global biodiversity research may be assumed (see
                    Buck and Hamilton 2011). Vogel (2013) summarises
                    some of the issues that may be anticipated for
                    collections rather cynical but clear.<br>
                    <br>
                    With ratification of the Nagoya Protocol later this
                    year (the EU &amp; Member States will ratify in few
                    weeks completing the quorum that enforces the NP),
                    access, accession, transfer and sharing of samples
                    will become more difficult, and I doubt that this
                    agrees with the original intention of the CBD to
                    conserve global biodiversity and to promote
                    biodiversity research ...<br>
