[Nhcoll-l] FW: CBD notifications related to the Nagoya Protocol

Fri Mar 1 02:19:54 EST 2019

Dear all,

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 the last COP MOP meeting.

I do want to caution everybody who feels tempted to draft a submission 
that loud exclamations such as the recent Prathapan paper in Science 
(http://science.sciencemag.org/content/360/6396/1405), which some may 
have seen and which was - surprise - published in the very week of the 
SBSTTA meeting on DSI in Montreal, are not very helpful.

The negotiations are not only very complex, but a political minefield. 
This requires careful stakeholders and well considered submissions.

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 
advertised to cover type material in their collections under the Protocol.

An example for the huge reputational risks Natural History Collections 
face (types/potential illegally collected/ accusations of bio-piracy), 
see here
