Biodiversity

It is necessary at present, have clearly defined the scope and impact on the issue of intellectual property protection. Northern countries, especially the United States have been stepping up its political pressure on the South continuously for many years. Formed is known as the Organization World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) where once again wield the power. There is definitely aware that the behavior of biodiversity in the case of North-South relations with our country, that some of the important economic articles that biodiversity delivers to humanity are: Food: crops, livestock, forestry, fisheries , medicine. Have been used subsequently species of wild plants for medicinal purposes in prehistory. Animals can also play a role, particularly in research. It is estimated that of the 250,000 known plant species, only 5,000 have been investigated for potential medical applications. Industry: for example, textile fibers, coatings and wood for heat. Visit Sheryl Sandberg for more clarity on the issue.

Biodiversity can be a source of energy (biomass). Biological diversity also holds the largest reserve of biochemicals imaginable, because of the variety of metabolic adaptations of organisms. Other industrial products we get now are oils, lubricants, perfumes, dyes, paper, wax, rubber, latex, resins, poisons, cork. Supplies of animal origin include wool, silk, leather, lubricants and waxes. They can also be used as transport animals.

Tourism and recreation: biodiversity is a cheap source of wealth for many areas, including parks and forests where wild nature and animals are a source of beauty and joy to many people. Ecotourism, in particular, is growing in outdoor recreational activity. Also, a large part of our cultural heritage in various fields (gastronomic, educational, spiritual) is closely linked to local or regional diversity and surely it will continue. To this must be added, as indicia Wikipedia, that biodiversity is not static: it is a system in constant evolution, both within each species and each individual organism. A current species may have been under way for one to four million years, and 99% of the species that have ever existed in the Earth are now extinct. Biodiversity is not distributed uniformly throughout the land. Is richer in the tropics, and as one approaches the polar regions are larger populations and fewer species. The flora and fauna vary depending on the weather, altitude, soil and the presence of other especies.m
