| Abstract: | This paper attempts to assess the economic value of biodiversity to commercial bioprospectors and source countries, surveys the provisions of the CBD that deal directly with bioprospecting, examines the types of legal access regimes being established by source countries, and considers the effects that new technologies like genomics and combinatorial chemistry will have on the future importance of bioprospecting. |
