El dia mundial del medio ambiente celebramos la gestion comunitaria

Friends of the Earth International advocates for community-based biodiversity management, contrasting it with privatized approaches like bioprospecting and financial mechanisms such as carbon credits. The text highlights the failure of the National Biodiversity Institute (INBio) in Costa Rica as evidence against the privatization of genetic resources and calls for the respect of community rights and traditional knowledge as outlined in the Convention on Biological Diversity.

• The document criticizes the privatization of biodiversity through bioprospecting, where pharmaceutical and agricultural companies patent genes isolated from plants, claiming invention over discovery.
• The National Biodiversity Institute (INBio) in Costa Rica is cited as a failed global example of bioprospecting; despite promises of revenue from transnational companies, the institution went bankrupt and failed to benefit local communities or Indigenous Peoples.
• The 'financialization of nature'—including carbon credits and compensation mechanisms that equate the destruction of one ecosystem with the protection of another—is viewed as a threat to community rights and a way to pay for the right to pollute.
• Community rights and the protection of traditional knowledge, as recognized in the Convention on Biological Diversity, are essential for safeguarding the relationship between Nature and local/Indigenous communities.
