    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">we have seen this already and are
      aware. Our last - very thoughtful and considerate - submission
      (CETAF) was well perceived and found useful by key negotiators in

      feels tempted to draft a submission that loud exclamations such as
      the recent Prathapan paper in Science

      may have seen and which was - surprise - published in the very
      week of the SBSTTA meeting on DSI in Montreal, are not very

    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Prathapan and co-signatories suggested
      to cover access to type material and DSI under Nagoya by adopting
      the seed treaty as multilateral benefit sharing system. This
      surely is not a cure, but will increase the pain. Surely, most of
      the co-signatories - which explicitly have been selected to
      represent internationally renowned Natural History Collections -
      entirely overlooked in their Nagoya outrage that they basically
