Abstract: Abstract There is an increasing interest in the nature, value, use, preservation and ownership of a wide range of genetic resources that are embodied in populations of microbes, plants, animals, and humans. These resources can be found in situ in organisms in all climates and cultures on land, in the sea, and in the air or ex situ in botanical gardens, gene banks, and public and private research collections. Genetic resources are inextricably intertwined with the environment (including human populations as hosts and users), complicating an already difficult discussion about how to manage them and how to arrange appropriate access and benefits sharing to both the primary genetic resources and any complementary or resulting inventions and innovations.
